reputation for training and developing the best legal minds.

Our origins date back to Gibson & Weldon in 1876, and the establishment of The Law Society

School of Law. Since then we’ve changed a lot. Here’s just a few milestones we’ve celebrated

over the years…

YOUR ROUTES TO LEGAL PRACTICE

The traditional route to becoming a

barrister or solicitor starts by taking a

qualifying law degree (LLB).

Alternatively, you can take a degree in

another subject and still become a lawyer

by taking a one year law conversion

course (GDL - Graduate Diploma in Law)

or our Master’s course (MA Law) after you

have graduated.

There is no disadvantage to entering the

profession via this route.

BARRISTER SOLICITOR

NON LAW DEGREE

Alternatively, you can start your

route to becoming a solicitor or

barrister by studying a non-law

degree, and after you’ve

graduated, taking our law

conversion course,

or Master’s Degree.

PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION

Our LLB (Hons) Law is a Qualifying Law

Degree (QLD) recognised by the Bar

Standards Board (which regulates barristers

and specialised legal services businesses in

England and Wales) and the Solicitors

Regulation Authority (which regulates solicitors

of England and Wales) for the purpose of

exemption from the academic stage of their

professional examinations. This means that

you can move directly onto a Bar Professional

Training Course (BPTC) if you want to be a

barrister, or the Legal Practice Course (LPC) if

you want to be a solicitor*.

* Please note that the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is reforming solicitor qualification in England and Wales

by introducing the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). At the time of publication, the SRA intends to introduce

the SQE in 2021. Follow law.ac.uk/blog to keep up to date on the latest legal news on the SQE and other topics.*92% of our full-time UK LLB students graduating in 2017 secured employment or further study within six months of successfully completing their course.
