====Oxbridge==== The [[University of Cambridge]] has a postgraduate law course, which formerly conferred an LL.B. on successful candidates (undergraduates studying law at Cambridge received a B.A.). In 1982 the LL.B. for postgraduate students was replaced with a more conventional LL.M. to avoid confusion with undergraduate degrees in other universities.<ref name=Cantab>{{cite web |url=http://www.mcl.law.cam.ac.uk/the-faculty-of-law |title=Postgraduate Law |publisher=University of Cambridge, Faculty of Law |access-date=13 August 2015}}</ref> Additionally, in 2012, the University of Cambridge introduced the M.C.L.
