Disclaimer: This profile book has been compiled from the submissions of the individuals represented in the book, who are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information they have provided. While this information is believed to be accurate, it is made available without any responsibility on the part of the University of Oxford, which makes no representations about its veracity.

Oxford is renowned for the size, strength, and diversity of its community of legal scholars drawn from around the world. I am delighted to welcome our new class of BCL and MJur students to this community. The students also come from a diverse range of

backgrounds; they are united by their previous academic achievements and shared enthusiasm for the study of law.

Mindy Chen-Wishart, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies (Taught Courses)

The 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 to maintain 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 non-common 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. Students from a wide range of jurisdictions and backgrounds refine their wealth of experience, knowledge and understanding through direct and intensive engagement with some of the best teachers and researchers in the world across a wide range of legal subjects.

Oxford's Faculty of Law was ranked second in the world in 2016 QS World University Rankings for law, and second in the Guardian's UK University Guide 2017.
