GDL

GDL (Graduate Diploma in Law)

If you have successfully obtained a Law degree from a UK University, you will be able to do the LPC straight away. If you have not studied Law, you will need to do a Law conversion course first, called the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL).

The GDL is a high pressure, fast moving course that is less academic and more practical than studying Law at University. Rather than studying the ethics and morality of the law, you will be studying how, when and why certain laws are applied - rather than learn what the law is, you will learn how to be a lawyer.
