To be eligible for the Postgraduate Diploma in Law/law conversion course, students must hold a degree (honorary degrees don’t count) from a UK institution or an overseas institution that the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) considers to be an equivalent.
Alternatively, a student can hold academic and vocational qualifications that the SRA deems equivalent to a degree.
Entry requirements for specific education providers can be found on their individual websites and could vary. For example, while BPP University Law School’s requirements are a minimum 2:2 honours degree (or equivalent) from a UK institution (or overseas equivalent), the university also notes that those who don’t meet the entry requirements but have “other qualifications, strong references or relevant work experience” should contact the university, which can then review your options.
If you’re unsure whether you fit this criteria, contact the SRA (0370 606 2555 or https://www.sra.org.uk/home/contact-us/).
