KCL Law: yes, you need the LNAT

Start with a correction, because it could cost you the application. A Delhi law-coaching site currently tells Indian students that King's does not require the LNAT. King's own entry-requirements page says the opposite: every applicant must sit it, between 1 September and 31 December, and without it King's cannot consider the application further. Believe the university, not the coaching centre. Dispensations exist only where there is no test centre in your country — India has centres in eight-plus cities, so that exemption will never apply to you. The degree is the LLB, UCAS M100, three years at the Dickson Poon School of Law in Somerset House on the Strand — the Royal Courts of Justice, the Law Society and the Inns of Court are all within a short walk. King's describes the degree as the study of law as an intellectual discipline, examined as a social science, a branch of ethics and a part of political philosophy. Joint routes with French, German, Spanish and Australian law have their own UCAS codes, and further pathways — a year abroad, transnational legal studies with a semester at Georgetown, Hong Kong, Singapore — are entered by competitive transfer in your second year, not at application. King's is the strictest of the London law schools on second chances, and this is where Indian applicants get caught. It accepts no resit students for any undergraduate Law programme: qualifications must be completed at the first sitting. Retaking a subject at the same level counts as a resit even inside a different qualification. Doing a foundation year after acceptable grades makes you a resit applicant too — and non-UK foundation courses are not accepted at all, so an Indian foundation programme will not rescue a weak Class XII.
