Wondering what to expect in your Oxbridge Law interviews?

Interviews can feel overwhelming due to their unpredictability, but they’re crucial, with some candidates excelling based purely on interview performance. This essential guide, created by U2’s Law tutors—Oxford and Cambridge Law graduates—will help you prepare, stand out, and increase your chances of success. It covers how to present yourself and communicate effectively during interviews.

Key components of U2 Tuition's Law guide:

- How to build evidence of subject exploration to demonstrate your passion. Our Law graduates guide you on what to read, including primary and secondary material, and how to cite key texts or online resources (e.g., podcasts) to support your reasoning during interviews. Each recommendation includes a thinking task—a related interview question. Start this process months in advance so you have lots of time to explore all these resources!

- Help preparing for qualitative questions, such as those based on your personal statement.

- Guidance for questions on current legal affairs, work experience, and legal careers.

- Guidance for preparing for ethical and moral dilemma questions.

- Advice for answering questions requiring statutory interpretation.
