Converting to law?
If you want to qualify in law, or have not yet decided which route you want to take, a law conversion course (such as a GDL, PGDL, MA Law, LLM law conversion) is a great entry point.
With a solid academic foundation in law, the path is open to continue your journey towards qualification in the legal profession, as a solicitor, barrister, CILEX lawyer or costs lawyer.

How do I choose an SQE preparation course?
SQE1&2 are difficult to pass and so you need to ensure that you are well prepared. There are a variety of courses available to help you, ranging from diploma and master’s courses to shorter SQE assessment prep courses.
