Hi Safura! Thanks for watching the video! Glad you found it informative! Yes you absolutely can do a bachelor law degree. You have the options of an LLB (undergraduate program for 3 years) or an LLB program (postgraduate program for 2 years). You’ll have to take a look at schools of your desired preference (I.e location/tuition/reputation) and choose. I do know City University offers both of the options I’ve listed above. 😊

Not shady at all! The way we do law school now hasn’t been the way historically though universities have existed for sometime. For example a lot of lawyers in the UK have historically spent more time in apprenticeships under other lawyers and learned to become lawyer primarily by attending court not sitting in class. So the GDL & LPC/BVC route is a nice combination of old & “new” ways 😊

Could you please let me know what minute mark you are watching in reference to the question? Generally I mean study and prepare for tutorials. You’ll get more out of the short time you have with your tutors that way. You can ask more questions and receive more clarification.

@@EdinamMacDeh 13:09 I am currently doing the GDL and we have workshops (meaning in class group exercises where we get problems and have them corrected) and there r also tutorials where the teacher teaches and there is no obligatory group work

@@bobcatthekittykat1075 Okay so in your case I mean prepare thoroughly for workshops. What you call workshops, were labelled tutorials for me. And what are tutorials for you, were simply called lectures for me 🙂

@@EdinamMacDeh thanks a million. Please keep going. This is some excellent content here. I’ve subscribed

Hi Tafisha! Yes you can! Just do the necessary practice quizzes to prepare.

Hi Vanessa! I’m glad to hear you’re encouraged! God bless you too and be with you on your journey! 🙏🏾

If by PGD course you mean Postgraduate Diploma then NO you don’t need a PGD to do the GDL. You NEED an undergraduate degree in order to qualify for the GDL in the UK. So 3 or 4 years of study at the graduate level in any area- doesn’t have to be law. Hope this helps!

The GDL in itself is a PGD.

Responded :)

Yes you can!

@@EdinamMacDeh thanks mam

Mam which university is best for LLB(2year course) and is the fast track llb is lucrative and worthy? Swansea university Hertfordshire Notingham trent Greenwich Brunel

Hi Elias! I apologize for the late response. If you are a non-uk law graduate, who has not yet started practicing you’ll need to do the GDL or a UK LLB (in England & Wales or Scotland depending on where you want to practice). You need to have studied English law in order to become a Barrister if you are not already a practising Barrister. In terms of the LLM you can take an LLM without doing the GDL or LLB. However that alone will not qualify you for practice in the UK. Hope this helps !

No it’s not, but it is ideal to do practice tests beforehand to make sure you’re familiar with the test 🙂

@@EdinamMacDehthanks mam for your reply i want to be a Barrister in uk and i recently completed LLB(hons) in my Country.Now which course i need to pursue to be a Barrister in uk?

Kindly refer to my first video on this and the videos thereafter. 🙂 ruclips.net/video/oRB_i8LIC2Y/видео.html

Prayer absolutely works! God is so good and so loving! And He hears every prayer! Thank you ❤️

You are too kind!! Thank you so much for your words & you are so so welcome! As you embark on your own journey I genuinely hope you are so much better than me!

Hi Pragya! My apologies but I didn’t not get that email sadly. But I have responded on LinkedIn just now 🙂

Thank you so so much! I re-sent the email. I hope I sent it to the right place.

I promise you those notes look much better than they actually are 😅. You need to select your topics as you go and delve deeper into the readings for those instead of trying to do all of them. Then simplify your notes as you go. That's the best advise I can offer, but at this time I cannot offer you my notes. If they do become available subsequently I will let you know. Sadly I simply don’t have access to them atm. Wishing you all the best!

Hi! You’re very welcome! I do not know if any specific sites that have the correct format of GDL exams. However if you do want to practice, looking up past LLB papers would be useful too. The GDL and BPC are difficult because of the breadth of material needing to be covered in a relatively short period of time. That is the challenge. So your success will depend on your time management skills, and practice of each topic covered in each module.

Not many law schools, there are a specific set of GDL providers. Please watch my video below and check the description box for links to the GDL schools. When getting a job, your grades and resume would be of utmost importance ruclips.net/video/ioj-1PieuHM/видео.html

Hi! Very glad this video was helpful ! In respect of Pupillage that is in fact unto us, ourselves. The best help that can be offered during application stages may be given by your Inn in the form of mock Pupillage interviews and other informative sessions on the Pupillage process. But that entirely depends on your Inn as not all of them do this. Inner Temple I know does. Other help can come from friends or family who have been through the process if you have any. I’d suggest taking on mini- Pupillage and building a professional relationships with Barristers and Pupils while on it - you may be lucky enough to get some advice and guidance from them as well for your applications. All the best!

@@EdinamMacDeh thank you so much!

Very welcome !

You’ll have to check the specific requirements of the scholarship guarantor. To answer more generally, it’s always best to have your undergraduate transcripts, A-level and GCSE transcripts on standby. Transcripts not just certificates.

Hi! So the grades are incredibly important in securing Pupillage! A great grade like a Distinction (along with a great track record in your undergraduate studies and CV/Resume) can help you secure a Pupillage offer before you do the BPC! I’ve known colleagues who were able to use part of their Pupillage award to pay for their BPC (formerly called BPTC). So it’s very important. The pass mark for each exam is usually (still is at the moment) 40%. They are not easy exams to pass as marking is very strict and higher marks are awarded to the answers that best produce the right assessment of the relevant areas of law and critical analysis of case law in relation to the scenario given in the essay question. The more ground you cover in study and exam practice before the period of exams the better you will do. I have a video on how to study for the GDL exams- please give that a watch too! I wish you the best of luck on this journey!

@@EdinamMacDeh Excellent, thank you! just watched your other video, really helpful and brilliant advice! Much appreciated. Best of luck to you as well. Cheers!

You are so welcome!

Thank you for this! 👌🏾

Hi Dana! So far as you have a bachelors degree from wherever in the world you can undertake the GDL or 2 year LLB Honours. I answer your question in detail in this video and Part 2 to this video so please have a watch.

Thanks so much 🥺

You’re welcome! All the best!🙂

You’re so welcome!

Hi Levy! I would say that taking the GDL online is a harder only because it requires more discipline. I would not say it is ineffective because the same resources and modules are delivered online and in person. And at the present time I know most GDL students are taking the course online. So the challenge is to continue to make it to class, stay on top of the material and be extremely proactive about seeking help from your tutors. Hope this is helpful. All the best !

The minimum qualification for joining the GDL program is that you have an undergraduate degree (in any subject area) from any certified institution. There is no age limit as far as I know for joining the program. :)

I’m glad it’s useful! God bless you too!

Hi Usman, You won’t become a full time lawyer with only the GDL. There are two professional courses BPC/BPTC and the LPC you must undergo after the GDL. Followed by a period of training. I have detailed this path I’m subsequent videos. And will soon expand on the BPC/BPTC as that is my only area of experience. Hope this helps. Do watch the rest of my videos for clarity.

Hi Emmanuella! Congrats on graduating college and also getting into ULaw! Those are huge achievements! It is a bug decision to move countries but ultimately for the reason you’ve stated it seems wise for you and if you’re ready to, I think you should take the chance! You can email me at edinammacdeh@gmail.com 🙂

Hi Moshin! All the best of luck completing this year. Im unsure as to what exactly you need help with. Can you please be more specific ?

Hi Mirza, Thank you for your offer, so kind. If you are looking for representation I advise you contact local and practicing lawyers to help you. I hope you’re able to find someone. I am just here to offer information on the academic and vocational side of law- nothing else.

Edinam Mac-Deh ok now I don't need a lawyer

Hi, yes I am

Ok just give me your email address please, I will send you my documents

Hi Mirza, hope you are well. If you are looking for representation I advise you contact local and practicing lawyers to help you. I hope you’re able to find someone. I am just here to offer information on the academic and vocational side of law- nothing else.

Hi Kelly! The most important thing is how well you do! If you receive a Distinction at the end of your GDL program it is going to matter less where you got it from. Remember that there is a specific list of GDL providers and Chambers/Firms know this. So it only matters which one best suits your pursuit and circumstances. For example depending on if you want to take the LPC or BPTC after you might consider if your institute has produced more barristers or solicitors? If there’s more resources or help allocated for aspiring barristers or solicitors? What the exam timetable and structure looks like at each institution? Those factors should determine your decision not what seems to be the preference. I find that there’s in fact no preference. And if there is it that you have the highest possible award from your GDL not matter what the institute is 🙂. Make the decision you feel is best, and then make the best out of it !

Hi Rabiya! You are right! With the Inns you can simply apply via their individual websites, however you may want to wait till you have been accepted into the GDL program or have begun it. You simply need to be a Member before you can start the BPTC year. The BCAT is not difficult. I followed all the guidance in the BCAT handbook, and did some practice tests online. www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/training-qualification/bar-qualification-manual-new.html?part=94844A47-08D8-437D-A17440AD1A7C596C&q= In this video I talk about the costs associated with BCAT and the Inn amongst others. Please have a watch. ruclips.net/video/7QgcR7EEsC0/видео.html Hope this helps!

Hi! Yes you may - edinammacdeh@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Yes you absolutely can. Given that you have to apply for the BPTC as well, you'll be given the options to choose your schools. And you're free to change it. :)

thanks for your reply! keep growing your channel!❤❤

I couldn’t agree more ! Moving to a new city and starting on a career path can be daunting, and any little insight into what that looks like can either be reassuring or lead you to a necessary reassessment of choices! I’m glad you found this useful, take care! 🙂

Farzana's Law That is so kind of you ! Thank you so much, that truly means a lot 🙂🙂!
