Graduate Diploma - Law

University of Law - London Bloomsbury · Bloomsbury, United Kingdom

About this programme

If students are looking to make the change into legal study and already have an undergraduate degree in another discipline, then University of Law's Graduate Diploma in Law is their pathway into legal practice. If students have completed an undergraduate degree in a non-law field and want to study law at a postgraduate level they’ll first need to complete this conversion course. With a modular structure, ULaw's GDL offers students a great chance to make the transition into legal study with excellent levels of support and guidance from experienced, professional tutors.

Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, and building their career in another discipline, students will have gained many transferable skills. By choosing law at a later stage than some others, students are showing motivation and determination to pursue a new career. Employers actively seek candidates with these benefits.
