Changes to legal education and training

Legal education and training has been subject to a detailed review by professional regulators in the legal sector. The review has examined the routes to qualification as a barrister or solicitor.

The Bar Standards Board (BSB) no longer requires the study of a 'Qualifying Law Degree' (QLD). However, the study of what are referred to as the 'seven legal foundations of knowledge' is still required before the vocational stage of bar training. All our undergraduate law degrees meet this requirement. 

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has introduced the Solicitors Qualifying Examination route to qualification. This route requires a degree in any subject or equivalent level 6 qualification. All our law degrees cover the legal foundations of knowledge and will assist you as an aspiring solicitor as part of your preparation for SQE.
