Thanks

It usually does not matter much or at all where you do the GDL, but I would steer clear of the University of Law. Its reputation in the legal profession is that of a qualification mill. I'm a commercial barrister involved in recruiting and training for my chambers. I have not been impressed by the legal knowledge of candidates applying with University of Law qualifications. I have for example seen candidates who have been awarded firsts in undergraduate degrees who lack the most basic knowledge of the law of contract.
