A flying start
Our GDL is much more than an academic conversion course – it’s the perfect starting point for non-law graduates or those working in a different profession seeking the job satisfaction and rewards of a career in law. Many law firms and barristers’ chambers welcome the broader education and experience that non-law graduates can bring to the profession.
The expertise you gain through our GDL will more than match a law degree. You won’t just learn the law – but how to apply it in practice to meet the realities of today’s legal environment and become a highly marketable lawyer.
Flexible part-time options
In addition to our full-time GDL, we offer a range of two-year part-time study options, allowing students to combine study with full-time work or other commitments. This flexible approach allows you to manage your time and your finances so that you get the most from your course. And if you’re studying part-time, there are still plenty of opportunities to meet and work with fellow students and to hone your legal skills through our practice-related activities.
S-mode
In addition, our new online S-mode GDL allows you to fast track your part-time GDL over 18 months rather than 2 years.
