Our Postgraduate Diploma (Law Conversion) PgDL is a law conversion course that teaches you to think like a lawyer and prepare for the realities of life in legal practice. This course replaces our Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) and provides the foundation for the pathway into practice for non-law graduates who want to progress onto the SQE1 Preparation Course, and our LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) to qualify as a solicitor or the Bar Practice Course (BPC) to qualify as a barrister.

Our PgDL conversion course offers you a great chance to make the transition into legal study with excellent levels of support and guidance from our experienced, professional lecturers. Not only will you learn the academic law necessary for converting to law, but you will also focus on key skills and competences crucial for your development as a lawyer.

Why choose our Postgraduate Diploma (Law Conversion) PgDL

If you’re looking to make the change into legal study and already have an undergraduate degree in another discipline then our PgDL is your pathway into legal practice.

In an increasingly competitive legal job market, many employers value the combination of a non-law undergraduate area of expertise combined with the solid grounding in core legal principles and legal skills. Through studying another degree subject, and building your career in another discipline, you will have gained many transferable skills. By choosing law at a later stage, you are showing motivation and determination to pursue a new career.

• Learn to think like a lawyer and develop practical legal skills through practical workshops and problem-based learning.
• Be ready to progress your legal training – go on to study the SQE1 Preparation Course and develop the skills required to answer SQE1 style legal knowledge questions or progress onto our LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2) or Bar Practice Course (BPC).
• Stand-alone Skills & Behaviours module – designed to focus on key skills and behaviours necessary for practice as a solicitor or barrister.
• Explore an area of law that interests you in our Law of Organisations module.
• With one of the largest legal careers services in the UK, 91桃色 gives you the support and opportunities you need to make the best start in your legal career.
• Taught by qualified lawyers, with lectures and practical workshops to develop your legal skills, so you’ll know what to expect in a real-life work environment.
• Enjoy flexible study – choose to study full-time or part-time at one of our locations nationwide, or online.
• We currently provide legal training for 90 of the top 100 law firms in the UK.
