A bachelor’s degree in Law at this level is an undergraduate route for students who want a first degree in legal study. It suits applicants deciding whether they want an academic foundation in Law before moving on to professional training or other postgraduate study.

The universities in this set are all public, so the main differences for a decision are likely to come from location, campus setting, and the specific programme attached to each choice. The facts also show 13 programmes across 10 universities, so some institutions offer more than one option.

Before applying, confirm the exact programme title, tuition fee, entry requirements, language of instruction, and application deadline with the university. Also verify whether the option you want is the one attached to the institution you are considering, since the degree and programme details need to be checked individually.
