The normal requirements for admission to a Common Professional Examination/Graduate Diploma in Law course to complete the Academic Stage of Legal Education for solicitors is the award of a degree at a university in the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. However, the Solicitors Regulation Authority may also recognise non-standard qualifications, e.g. degrees awarded at certain overseas universities; or degree equivalent qualifications; or professional qualifications including Membership and Fellowship of the Institute of Legal Executives or the Diploma in Magisterial Law; or non-graduate mature persons who have gained considerable experience or shown exceptional ability in an academic, professional, business or administrative field.
Students with overseas degrees or other non-standard qualifications who wish to qualify as solicitors must have obtained a Certificate of Academic Standing from the Solicitors Regulation Authority confirming that the qualifications they hold meet the minimum requirements to commence their training to qualify as a solicitor before enrolling on a CPE/GDL course.
