  • An application fee of KYD 150.00.

You do not need to have Caymanian status or residency to study with us full-time, but if you do, or if you are married to a Caymanian, you should provide evidence of it with your application.

You must submit your application form, and supporting documents, by email to Mitchell.Davies@gov.ky

You can pay your deposit on Tuesdays between 10am and 3pm:

  • by card over the telephone (345-945-0077); or
  • by leaving a banker’s draft in the drop box on the second floor of Truman Bodden Law School.

Please note the application deadline relevant to you:

General Entry Requirements

Generally, the academic entry requirement for students who are under 21 years of age on 1 May in the year they start their course is at least two General Certificate of Education Advanced Level passes in addition to at least three General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) passes of Grade C or higher standard.

The GCSE subjects must include English Language and one of Mathematics or a Natural Science subject or Geography or Economics. Other prescribed combinations of passes may be acceptable (but proof of attainment of an acceptably high English Language standard is essential) as may other prescribed qualifications recognised as being of a comparable standard, such as an Associates Degree with a sufficiently high GPA.

These entry requirements for the full and part time degrees are laid down in the Legal Practitioners Law (2015 Revision) and Legal Practitioners (Students) Regulations (2018 Revision)


Mature Students: Alternative Entry Requirements

Students who are over 21 years of age on 1 June in the year of intended entry, who do not meet the Law School’s entry requirements set out above, may take the University of Liverpool Mature Students’ Entrance Examination.

This examination ordinarily takes place in July and therefore the deadline for applications to ensure your entry for the examination is 10 July. The date of the examination is 17 July.

In addition to the TBLS application form, you must complete and submit the Mature Students' Entrance Examination Application Form (PDF) (Word).
