What will I learn?

Our Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) provides a route to qualification as a solicitor or barrister for graduates of any discipline. This graduate diploma is an ideal stepping stone for graduates who are seeking a career in Law but have a degree in a different discipline. You'll not only develop essential legal skills but also meet the requirements for further legal qualifications. You'll learn through our unique problem-based learning approach, based on real-world, practical legal scenarios and supported by expert tutors. By gaining a practical understanding of the foundations of English Law, you'll complement your previous studies. Lawyers come from all kinds of backgrounds, and your breadth of knowledge will allow you to become a confident legal professional. You will also have active, individual support towards your career goals from our dedicated employability tutor.
