Transform and advance your career with LJMU's professionally accredited Qualifying Law LLM conversion course (previously GDL) delivered by academics and practitioners.
Choose from flexible modes of study
Study on a course accredited by the Solicitors Regulation Authority/Bar Standards Board
Progress to the Legal Practice Course (LPC) or the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC)
Apply even if you are a non-law graduate wanting to convert a degree into a qualifying legal qualification
Prepare for a professional legal career as well as opportunities in public services and management
Generous funding scholarships available for home and overseas students
This exciting degree is designed to enable non-law graduates to gain an exempting legal qualification at Masters level.
The degree will provide you with opportunities to broaden your legal interests, while equipping you with the skills and knowledge necessary for a rewarding future in the legal profession.
On completion of the course you will have the skills, knowledge and confidence to study on a Legal Practice Course (LPC) or Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) and ultimately qualify as a solicitor or barrister.
The programme also allows you to undertake a dissertation module in any area of law, enabling you to pursue an academic career.
The route to qualification as a solicitor in England and Wales will change in autumn 2021 when the new Solicitors Qualification Examination is introduced. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has confirmed that students with a degree that is not a qualifying law degree will be able to follow the current route and take the LPC, but only if they have started, or accepted an offer to start, the conversion course (at LJMU this is the LLM Qualifying Law) by 31 August 2021. In the future, students who have taken the LLM QL will need to show the date when they accepted an offer and when the course started before they can join the LPC.
