The Law National Aptitude Test is an essential requirement before we consider your application for Law at Durham University. It helps us to assess your aptitude for the skills required to study Law and we use the results, alongside other parts of the UCAS form, to help select the applicants we think are most likely to succeed on our course.
- The LNAT test must be taken in the same application year as you submit your UCAS form. This also applies to anyone considering a deferred entry to the following year.
- You can't sit the LNAT more than once in any year and results can't be carried forward from one year to the next.
- Applicants to our Foundation Law course are are still required to take the LNAT.
- There is no minimum score for entry into Durham. You will receive an LNAT result (a score out of 42) and the university will refer to this and your LNAT essay when considering your university application.
- If you have linked Durham University to your LNAT account, then we will automatically receive your results. Unfortunately, Durham is unable to disclose what your results are, and you should wait for your results from LNAT directly.
There are deadlines to book and take your test. You can find information on these deadlines and more on our website here.
