How many students are admitted each year?
A. The Department enrolls about 20 students each year from a total of around 600 applicants. The enrollment figure reflects the limits of the Department’s academic and physical resources in providing high quality graduate training to its students and its resources for the support of its graduate students. Almost all of our recent graduates have obtained appropriate positions upon obtaining their PhDs in academic, industrial, or public settings. Of the 600 or so applications received each year, roughly half are to the Clinical Program. Clinical typically accepts 5 students per year. The other areas combined accept approximately 15 new students per year.
We admit a total of 145 home (EU/UK) students and approximately 50 overseas (non-EU) students each year. At the end of the first year, approximately 30 students transfer to the Law with Study in Continental Europe programme, 3 students onto the Law with Study Abroad programme and 3 students spend a year in Japan. We admit 5 students onto the Law and French/German degree programmes. In addition, 10-15 students are admitted onto the LLB Law with Chemistry degree programme.
