A law conversion course (or a Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL)) is a postgraduate degree that allows non-law graduates to gain the foundational knowledge and the legal qualifications necessary to enter legal practice or pursue further legal studies in the UK. A law conversion course will typically last one year and covers a wide range of topics, including contract law, tort law, criminal law, and constitutional law.
Here are some of the key things you will learn on a law conversion course:
- The fundamental principles of English law
- The skills and knowledge you need to practice law
- How to research and write legal documents
- How to prepare for and present legal arguments
If you're interested in a career in law and want to become a solicitor, lawyer or paralegal, but don't have a law degree, a law conversion course is a great way to get started.
