PGDL or MA Law?

[CarmenF]

Hello everyone, I am undecided either to do a PGDL or a MA Law. Both of them are conversion courses.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two courses, apart from the price?

My goal is to do a conversion course and after that start preparing for the SQE1 exam.

Thank you for all your answers!

The MA in Law is likely to make you eligible for postgraduate student finance, while the PGDL would not be eligible where it is not degree level (unless it offers a bolt-on module to top it up to a masters level course).
