Hello guys.I am a non-law final year student from Hong Kong, and I am considering becoming a solicitor in the UK. I plan to self-fund my further studies (money is not a major concern here). I have some legal knowledge as I quit my law degree before reading for my current degree.I am facing a dilemma as to the new SQE route. I plan to go for either one of the routes provided by ULaw:1. SQE Essential (10 weeks full time/ 16 weeks part time) --> SQE 1 prep course --> SQE 2 prep course2. GDL (1 year full time/ 2 years part time) --> SQE 1 prep course --> SQE 2 prep courseI noticed that GDL is no longer a prerequisite for the SQE route. Yet, as a non-law graduate, should I take the longer course to better prepare myself for my SQE and career? Would reading a GDL give me a higher chance to get into a better firm upon graduation?There isn't much information on the web right now, so I'd like to seek advice from you all.Thanks!
