Can a U.S. undergraduate graduate and go study law in the U.K. ?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>thank you for helping me out on this. One wonders how it is possible to graduate in the United States and immediately go study law in the UK (England and Wales only -- one is sure they speak English there) . And if one could obtain a full scholarship. </p>

<p>Thank you so much, </p>

<p>And why would you do that? Have you thought about the pro’s and con’s?</p>

<p>Yes, you can go study law in the UK. That doesn’t mean that if you do so, you’ll be able to get admitted to practice in the US. Bar admission varies by state. So check the requirements of the state(s) in which you think you’d like to practice. In some states, e.g, New York, you could probably get admitted. In others, you won’t be eligible. </p>

<p>As for the scholarship–if you are a US citizen without dual UK or EU citizenship, it is EXTREMELY unlikely. Indeed, you’ll pay substantially higher tuition than your UK/EU classmates. Of course, if you could win a Rhodes or a a Marshall, you might be able to use the scholarship to study law. But don’t expect that a UK institution is going to give a scholarship to a US student to study UK law. </p>

<p>Note that in the UK, law is usually an undergraduate course, so you’ll be older than your classmates. </p>

<p>You might want to check out some of the dual degree programs. I know both Harvard and Columbia have them–not sure of others.</p>
