[QUOTE="intllawstudent, post: 93171, member: 18307"] Hi! I am new here and would be great if I can have some advice too :) I am an international, law, final-year student from a common law jurisdiction (not India), but I have similar questions so I thought it'd be helpful to ask here rather than under a new thread. If I apply for direct training contracts, do I still have to apply for the GDL/PGDL, and then the LLM Legal Practice (for SQE 1+2)? I see that SQE now recognises any degree such that the GDL is not strictly necessary, but my law degree, even though of a common law jurisdiction, does not cover all UK core modules (eg EU Law, Property Law). Is it more of a firm-dependent issue, or is PGDL commonly required? Quite concerned because, if PGDL is actually not required, I will fall outside of the group of "penultimate year law student" and some firms do expressly prioritise penultimate-year students. I have some legal working experience (including vacation schemes) so my profile should hopefully be a lesser concern; and I have also looked into visa issues. Thank you so much to everyone! [/QUOTE]
