Edinam, thank you so much for this video. I saw this after applying through UCAS for Senior Status LLBs. As an international student, this video made me feel comfortable enough to apply for GDL programs and now I am even preferring to complete a GDL! Thank you so much for so freely sharing this knowledge in a consolidated place
Hello, here is a prospective GDL student! Thank you so much for your informative video!! May I know if the institute of my GDL matters? Seems like people in UK preferred to have students coming out from BPP/UOL, is that true? As I just received an offer from other university, should I decline it and go for UOL/BPP?
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 Zeeshan! I am just seeing this comment. Yes, you will need a COAS to do the GDL. The link below provides the general requirement and links to the application form, and all the guidelines you need to follow. www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/training-qualification/bar-qualification-manual/part-2-for-students-pupils--transferring-lawyers/a4-certificates-of-academic-standing.html

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