Our courses The journey begins here For graduates holding a qualifying degree in English law, it will take a minimum of six years to qualify as a solicitor and five years to qualify as a barrister. For graduates with a non-law degree, an additional year of training will be required to qualify with a Diploma, or two years to qualify with a full LLB (Hons). The City Law School offers courses for students and practitioners at all stages of legal education. At an undergraduate level, our LLB (Hons) provides a foundation in key areas of law. For non-law graduates wishing to convert to the legal profession, we offer the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) or the Graduate Entry LLB (Hons).
