    Qualifying as a solicitor or a barrister

    If you wish to qualify as a solicitor (in England and Wales), the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) requirements are that you:

    • have a degree-level qualification or equivalent;
    • pass two solicitor qualification examinations – SQE1 and SQE2;
    • complete two years of qualifying work experience (QWE); and
    • meet character and suitability requirements.

    Your LLB from YLS will fulfil the first requirement, and enable you to develop elements of the legal knowledge and skills assessed in SQE1 and SQE2.

    If you wish to qualify as a barrister, the first stage of qualification is to meet the academic requirements of the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Your LLB from YLS includes the seven foundations of legal knowledge required by the BSB for the academic component of barrister training.
