Admission Requirements

For the full-time and part-time routes:

The minimum entry requirement is an undergraduate degree classified as not less than a lower-second class honours (2:2) or equivalent. This can be either a law degree or a non-law degree plus further graduate/postgraduate study in Law and in either case must cover the seven foundations of legal knowledge and satisfy the Professional Statement competence. The Bar Standards Board can advise on non-standard qualifications.

Bar Course Aptitude Test (BCAT)

In July 2022, the BSB confirmed that the BCAT is no longer a requirement for entry onto the Bar training course. Students starting the course in September 2022 and future applicants for the Bar Vocational Studies course are not required to take the BCAT.

Inn membership

Applicants to the Bar Vocational Studies Course must also apply for membership of one of the four Inns of Court by the last working day of May. The Inns of Court have well-established scholarship schemes, with closing dates on the first Friday in November of the year preceding study. These deadlines may be subject to change. For further details please check the website of the Inn you wish to join.
