Postgraduate diploma in Law (PGDL) / LLM Law (conversion)

Oxford Brookes University

A law career is closer than you think. Oxford Brookes Law School's postgraduate conversion course gives you a clear path, wherever your first degree took you.

This course for non-law graduates combines rigorous legal training with real-world experience. You'll gain the insight, experience and support to find your direction through our LawID programme and embedded careers support.

You'll learn to think, analyse and communicate like a lawyer through the Foundations of Legal Knowledge and practical modules in litigation, advocacy and interviewing - bringing the law to life and you can tailor your studies towards solicitor or barrister pathways.

The PGDL gives you the core legal knowledge required for a career in the law and practical skills to apply it confidently with clients and in courtrooms - providing a strong foundation to progress to the Bar Training Course (BTC) or Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE).

The LLM Law (Conversion) builds on this with advanced research skills and specialist knowledge through a dissertation.
