Both BA in Jurisprudence and BCL are highly regarded courses but they differ in selectivity. Despite its name the BCL (Bachelor of Common Law) is a one year post graduate course for those who did really well in their law degree. The BA is a three year undergraduate course for school leavers.BA in Jurisprudence: It is an undergraduate programme where admissions are based on academic performance, personal statements, and performance in the LNAT. It is designed for students who are at the beginning of their legal education. BCL: This programme accepts students who have already completed a law degree, and admissions require a first-class degree or equivalent from a reputable university.Although both programs are highly demanding, BCL is likely to be both more selective in terms of prior qualifications required and harder to complete due to its rigorous academic demands.
