All applicants are required to take the National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) by 31 December. You may submit your Law application to King's through UCAS before or after you take the LNAT - ensuring you submit before the UCAS January Equal Consideration deadline - however, to ensure equal consideration you must sit your LNAT test by 31 December. Please ensure that you select King's when you register your LNAT account so that we are able to retrieve your LNAT result in a timely manner.
Due to the competitive nature of the programme, we will be unable to consider your application further if you have not sat your LNAT by 31 December. This applies to all Home and Overseas applicants. However, for some Overseas applicants dispensations may be granted on an individual basis only where there is no LNAT centre in the candidate's country or no centre within a reasonable distance from the applicant's residence.
