[av_toggle title=’Can I become a lawyer in the UK if I’ve studied law in another country?’ tags=’3. THE LL.M. PROGRAM’ av_uid=’av-3uuan0m’ custom_id=”]
Overseas law degrees do not automatically give international students the ability to qualify as a UK solicitor or barrister. You will have to apply to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) if you want to be a solicitor, or the Bar Standards Board if you want to be a barrister, to gain a Certificate of Academic Standing.
This certificate will prove you are eligible to do a Graduate Diploma in Law, which takes one year full-time or up to 22 months part-time.
After that you can go on to the Bar Professional Training Course or Legal Practice Course as outlined above and gain practical training.
In some circumstances, your Certificate of Academic Standing may give you direct entry to these courses without having to complete a Graduate Diploma in Law.
Another route is to complete an LLM or postgraduate degree, followed by the GDL and LPC.
