Course summary

This course is designed for non-law graduates interested in becoming a solicitor or barrister. The Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PGDL) provides you with the foundation of legal knowledge and skills required for your legal training. For aspiring barristers, it satisfies the Bar Standards Board’s academic requirements to permit you to commence the vocational stage of training (e.g. the Barristers Training Course). For aspiring solicitors, it provides a solid grounding in the fundamental legal knowledge and skills required for key parts of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.This course provides a thorough consideration of the foundational law subjects, whilst allowing you to keep your options open before deciding which branch of the legal professions (solicitor or barrister) to train for. Beyond the core subjects, you will also have the opportunity to undertake practical experience at an early stage in our award-winning NLS Legal. You will be taught by our outstanding teaching team, consisting of both experienced legal professionals and leading researchers in Law. This is a fast-track conversion course which effectively covers the seven core modules of a Law degree in one year. You will study: Legal and Professional Environment (including EU law ), Contract Law, Tort Law, Law of Trusts, Criminal Law, Land Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law
