Namoshkar! There are several requirements to be met! 1. As a foreign student you must prove your proficiency of the English language with an acknowledged test such as the TOEFL or the IELTS. They cost about 180-220 Dollars. You need a certain minimum score to be considered eligible. However, if you speak English adequately it shouldn´t be a big problem. I´m German and had English for ten years in school and spent a year in the US. I got more than enough points. However, even with less experience, it would have been well possible. You have to remember that law is a very text-based course so it usually has the highest requirements for language abilities. 2. For some law schools in the UK, Oxbridge included, you will also have to take the Law National Admissions Test (LNAT) in order to demonstrate your reasoning skills, which are crucial to legal studies. It costs about 50 Dollars and can be taken in almost every country on earth. For Oxford it must be taken during the month of September every year. Application deadline for the university´s legal program is Oct. 15th. 3. Interviews are usually not common for law unless they want to get a closer look at you since they are still unsure whether to make you an offer or not. At this stage you already have good chances, though. 4. Most importantly, you will have to apply online through the UCAS website. Here you enter all necessary data regarding your person and previous education. You also have to check on the university´s website whether your type of diploma is officially accepted. There will be a fee for applying through UCAS as well. It should be around 20 Dollars. There is no other way to apply. Once you´ve successfully submitted your application, the admissions officers will carefully review it and then inform you about the outcome. You should know whether you were made an offer or not by late December or early January. Remember that even though the University of Oxford is highly competitive, you should not be discouraged by mere figures and rumors. Work hard and diligently on your application and try to show them that you are most fit to be a part of their student body. Good luck! =)
