Can anyone tell me the difference between an LLB Law degree and a BA law degree? cheers

Both Oxford and Cambridge do not offer an LLB, and only offer a BA, yet this offers exemption from the first part of the CPE or the LPC. This may be true of other universities.
At most universities the BA is offered in joint honours courses, where not enough law modules are taken in order to pass all of the criteria for professional exemptions, or where the student chooses to take modules that do not qualify for exemptions instead of qualifying modules.
To say that the BA does not offer exemptions is untrue. Often universities distinguish the exemption-providing degree by calling it an LLB instead of a BA, but at Oxbridge in particular this is not the case.
bless she tried
cheers for that
Indeed.
I'd just love to see a Law school turn down an Oxford degree;)
I wouldn't have realised that there was little difference without researching Oxford to apply to.
I was agreeing. You're being all paranoid and such.
well you need to read harder.
I never applied to Oxford.
Oh the power!
