[QUOTE="Cafie092333333, post: 121128, member: 21038"] Hi everyone! I am a final year non-law student who is planning to convert to Law. It is a confusing time for non-law students since [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]SQE[/COLOR] will fully replace the old route via [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]LPC[/COLOR] (LLB->LPC/non-law->GDL->LPC). Although theoretically the SQE replaces both GDL and LPC, and GDL is no longer required for practising as a solicitor in the UK, many law firms still send their non-law grads to take GDL before completing the SQE exams. This leaves two questions for me: (1) Is it more advantageous for non-law grads, who haven't secured any training contracts, to complete [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]GDL/2-year LLB[/COLOR] first before completing [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]SQE[/COLOR]? (2) What are the differences between [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]GDL/PGDL[/COLOR] and [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]2-year accelerated LLB[/COLOR], in terms of studies and employment? I notice that the [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]University of Bristol[/COLOR] provides a [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]2-year MA Law course (conversion)[/COLOR], which in essence seems to have no difference from a [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]2-year accelerated LLB[/COLOR] (except for the titles and entry requirements). [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]For GDL/PGDL[/COLOR], I am more interested in [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]BPP[/COLOR] which seems to provide more practical knowledge for a career in corporate law. While [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]for a 2-year accelerated LLB/MA Law (conversion)[/COLOR], I am quite interested in [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]UoL[/COLOR] and [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)]Bristol[/COLOR]. Any thoughts on these providers? [/QUOTE]
