What is the best university to study law?

What is the best answer to the question 'Why do you want to study Law at Cambridge?' (university interview)?

• I have a mock interview on Friday and want to make as best an impression I can to what is likely to be the first question. Thanks

• Answer:

  I would say that I find law a fascinating subject which I have a great interest in. I hope to go on one day to be a lawyer , as I think this would be a very worthwhile career in which I could help people and also earn a good living. I would very much like to study at Cambridge because it has a reputation of excellence, being amongst the best in the country. I feel that I would learn much from being in such an environment. I am a very studious hard working person so I feel I would be able to fit in and contribute much.(mention hobbies, clubs you belong to if asked). You could also mention you like the town. You haven't mentioned Oxford, have you applied to them also? They may ask you for example why your preference is Cambridge. You will need to consider how you would answer that as both are similar in many ways. You could perhaps say location is more convenient. Whatever you say you need to try and sound positive, say stuff they want to hear without being too grovelling. Try to answer confidently without sounding too arrogant though. Take your time with what you say, don't rush or it may look as if your answer is rehearsed. You will also get a better indication of body language, and be more able to correct any mistakes you make. Hope you find that useful.
