SQE
The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) opens to degree holders in any subject intending to be qualified as solicitors. But a prestigious formal law degree still puts you in a better position and is likely to be favoured by law firms. A rigorous LLB will give you solid foundation to pass the SQE assessments. SQE includes two assessments: SQE1 and SQE2. SQE1 assesses functioning legal knowledge (FLK). Most of the FLK areas are covered in the LLB curriculum. For full details, please refer to the Solicitors Regulation Authority: https://www.sra.org.uk/become-solicitor/sqe/
Bar training
You still need a qualifying law degree (minimum 2:2 classification) or a non-law degree plus a Graduate Diploma in Law to fulfill the academic stage if you want to become a barrister. Your law degree must include seven foundations of legal knowledge which are all covered in the LLB curriculum. For full details, please refer to the Bar Standards Board: https://www.barstandardsboard.org.uk/training-qualification/becoming-a-barrister.html
