"Oxford is renowned for the size,
strength, and diversity of its
community of legal scholars who
are drawn from around the world. I
am delighted to welcome our new
class of BCL and MJur students
to this community. The students
come from a diverse range of
backgrounds but are united by their
previous academic achievements
and shared enthusiasm for the
study of law."
William Swadling,
Reader in Property Law,
Director of Graduate Studies
(Taught Courses)
he Oxford Bachelor of Civil
Law (BCL) degree has been a
pivotal feature of Oxford’s law
provision since the sixteenth century.
This rich history has helped ensure its
status as the most highly regarded
taught masters-level qualification in
the common law world. Since 1991,
the Magister Juris (MJur) degree
has established a similar outstanding
reputation for students from noncommon law backgrounds.
Our students benefit from Oxford’s
rigorous tutorial system which makes
these degree courses so challenging.
This environment demands exceptional
academic motivation, focused analytical
ability, and the capacity for sustained
work. The wealth of experience
stemming from a multi-national and
varied student population is cultivated
and refined by our world-leading
scholars. Students from a wide range
of jurisdictions and backgrounds enjoy
direct and intensive engagement with
some of the best known teachers and
researchers across a wide range of legal
subjects.
Oxford University’s Faculty of Law
is one of the most prestigious in
the world. It was ranked third in
the world in the 2013 QS World
University Rankings for law and was
ranked second in the UK. The Faculty
was also ranked top for law in the
2013 University Guide published by
The Guardian newspaper.
