[QUOTE="Francesca Catenacci, post: 61281, member: 786"] Hi all! Apologies in advance for a confusing/long post. I received an offer to study the GDL at the University of Law, both in September 2021 and January 2022 (I can choose), and to do the PGDL at BPP (Jan 2022). I have a few questions. Considering I do want to qualify as a solicitor, and bearing in mind the new SQE route: - Which programme should I go for? If I do the GDL in January, will I still be able to go down to the LPC, TC route? Or will September 2021 be the last intake for the traditional qualification route? - Is there any advantage in starting the GDL/PGDL in September rather than in January in terms of TC or LPC? - Is a PGDL overall more valuable than a GDL because it is at a postgraduate level? - If I decide to go down the SQE route, will a GDL be valuable, or will I need a PGDL? - Which university offers more support in terms of applications/ pro-bono? I am very indecisive. On one side, I don't know whether the traditional qualifying route will still be available, should I start a GDL in 2022. On the other, I struggle to understand the practical difference between PGDL and GDL. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
