This video was definitely just an introduction to law conversion courses, but I hope it was helpful for anyone thinking of studying law as a graduate. Just to clarify a couple of things: Using the University of Law and BPP as an example: The PGDL will cover all of the core modules needed to go on train as a lawyer (e.g. take the SQE/BPC) - PGDL + Dissertation = MA Law (Conversion) - PGDL + SQE1 = MA Law (SQE1) Also, when I mentioned UK law I should've said England and Wales - for example, studying Scots law is different :) Here are some websites that are helpful if you're new to graduate law courses: www.prospects.ac.uk/jobs-and-work-experience/job-sectors/law-sector/law-conversion-courses www.law.ac.uk/study/scholarships-bursaries/ www.kcl.ac.uk/abroad/applying/gpa-equivalent-by-country
Thank you so much, this was really helpful! What do you think about King's College London's course Law & Professional Practice MSc/PG Dip? Is it seen as equivalent to the MA conversion in terms of employability - or would you have to do a conversion on top of that?
Awesome video; thanks, Chole. I'm also a literature graduate and will start the MA conversion at ULaw in September at the London campus. Are there any learning resources or books you would recommend to get ahead start?
Hi Chloe, may I seek your opinion when comparing BPP vs University of Law in Law Conversion study, what made you choose the latter? I plan to take the online study mode so the user-friendliness in digital content delivery and interactive staff support matter a lot, can you shed some light on this ?
I would also love to know how BPP and Univeristy of Law in law conversion study compare! Currently have offers from both and not sure which one to go for
Hiya! Do I have to do a dissertation if I am going to study MA Law with the SQE1 at the University of Law, or does the SQE1 exam replace the dissertation, cause that's what I've heard? x
No you don't have a diss, SQE replaces the diss module! PGDL + diss = MA Law (Conversion), PGDL + SQE1 = MA Law SQE1 course. Basically you'd do the core PGDL modules over two terms with everyone else, then over the summer the conversion students would do a diss whereas you would do work experience (my friend did work in a ULaw pro bono clinic) then start SQE1 the following September. The whole MA SQE1 course is almost a year and a half including sitting SQE1. Hope that makes sense - all this info is on the ULaw website!
I don't personally know anyone who has studied there but the PGDL is pretty similar everywhere, depends on what sort of university experience you want and whether you can/want to pay extra to do a course which includes SQE1

Hi Chloe, how long is the dissertation for MA Law?
Writing a diss in the same year as starting the subject 😭 I’m gonna have to lock in oml
Really appreciate this video. Very informative.
Hi Chloe, would you say where you attend LLM or post graduate law degree matters a lot to big law firms?

What do you think to Nottingham Trent University's non law graduate conversion solicitors course?
I don't personally know anyone who has studied there but the PGDL is pretty similar everywhere, depends on what sort of university experience you want and whether you can/want to pay extra to do a course which includes SQE1
