While Indira Gandhi didn't pursue her studies at the Oxford Law School, she did pursue a course in Modern History in 1937 at the Somerville College that falls under the educational umbrella of Oxford.

However, she couldn't complete her studies due to some health issues & had to leave after a duration of one-year.

Yes, students pursuing their studies at an Oxford based institution can work alongside their studies, however there is a limit on working hours allowed per week.

International students are allowed to work 20 hours a week (4 hours a day, on average), but must not exceed that number in any given week even if they work lesser hours during a different week, to avoid getting into trouble with the relevant authorities which can lead to financial penalties or in some cases, revocation of the student visa.

Oxford students enrolled in full-time UG studies spend on average 40 hours a week studying.

Studies at Oxford can be very hectic as per student reviews curated from Shiksha Study Abroad & students are advised to manage their time in a way that allows them to fit in their personal hobbies & interests over the week.

Yes, Oxford is one of the best law schools in the UK & worldwide to pursue law studies from.

The law school ranks #2 among all higher educational institutes offering law based studies in the UK, per the latest Shiksha Popularity Rankings, while its parent institute: Oxford University ranks #3 among all universities worldwide.

To secure admissions at Oxford Law, students must maintain a solid academic record as the institute tends to be very selective while admitting students.

The UCL acceptance rate of 36% is nearly twice that of Oxford University which has an acceptance rate of 17%.

Thus, it can be said that University College London is relatively easier to secure admissions at than Oxford.

However, both institutes are selective to a good extent, & interested applicants must maintain a solid academic record & resume demonstrating their non-academic capabilities to secure admissions at either institute.
