Graduate Diploma in Law (full time or distance learning) This conversion course is designed for any non-law graduate who intends to become a solicitor or barrister in the UK.

On the LLM part of the course you will have the opportunity to complete a project or dissertation, focusing on aspects of legal practice that interest you. You will also benefit from a series of lectures delivered by experts within the legal profession, a bridge to practise module and commercial awareness training.

Our nine-month LLM BTC gives you the opportunity to gain the award of a Masters (LLM), assuming successful completion of the BTC and an additional module, Advanced Advocacy, Advice and ADR, which has been created to give you experience of issues that are at the cutting-edge of practice, such as vulnerable witnesses and expert evidence.
