As a non-law student, you’d need to complete the PGDL and SQE post graduation. The timeline would look like this essentially: July/Aug 2027: graduate from non-law degree September 2027: begin the PGDL course July/Aug 2028: finish the PGDL course September 2028: begin the SQE course July/Aug 2029: finish the SQE course September 2029: earliest TC eligibility start date Therefore you’d not be eligible to begin in 2028, unless the firm says you don’t need the PGDL so only need to do the SQE course (see below): July/Aug 2027: graduate from non-law degree September 2027: begin the SQE course July/Aug 2028: finish the SQE course September 2028: earliest TC eligibility start date Most city law firms require both PGDL and SQE, so I think a September 2029 start date is more likely than anything earlier tbh. If you’re looking to apply for vac schemes, those are typically aimed at penultimate or final year law students and final year non-law students. So you’d apply for vac schemes and TCs starting from Sept 2026 (beginning of final year). Some firms might accept apps in this cycle! This is because firms typically recruit two or three years in advance of the TC start date. It’s defo worth checking with each firm though!</blockquote>
