law conversion course

The current trend in career progression is that one need not necessarily study a particular subject at university to enter into a career in that field. This is truest in the area of law, where close to half of the total candidates applying for training contracts and pupillages each year are those who have not studied law for their undergraduate degree.

Non-law students can become eligible for a career in law once they complete a mandatory conversion course – the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), also known as the Common Professional Examination (CPE).
