Getting into Law Nine UK and two non-UK leading universities currently use LNAT as part of their admissions process to help them identify the very best students, regardless of background or education, from the thousands who apply to study undergraduate law each year. Law requires excellent critical reasoning skills which cannot be easily measured by a standard exam or coursework. The National Admissions Test for Law (or LNAT) was therefore developed to help university admissions tutors learn more about individual candidates and their aptitude for studying law. It does this by assessing a candidate’s intellectual abilities, rather than their knowledge of particular subjects including law, measuring their abilities in critical reasoning, comprehension and command of written English. The LNAT is not a substitute for A (or their global equivalent) results, applications, personal statements or interviews but is used by each LNAT University in the way that best suits its own admissions policy. Different universities place different emphasis on the multiple choice score and the essay question. Candidates receive their results only after the admissions process has completed. Which Universities use LNAT as part of their Admissions Process? Ten universities currently use the LNAT as part their admissions process for undergraduate law degrees. These are: * * * * * * * (mature entry only) * LNAT Consortium member. LNAT is operated by LNAT Consortium Ltd working in partnership with Pearson VUE, the world's leading computer-based testing and assessment business, with the assistance of Edexcel, the leading provider of internationally recognised qualifications.
