About BARBRI Foundations in Law
BARBRI Foundations in Law is a short course designed to help you familiarise yourself with the study of law in England and Wales. It can also be taken prior to BARBRI SQE Prep to help students build knowledge ready to tackle the SQE prep courses with greater confidence.
Who is this course for?
BARBRI Foundations in Law has been developed for students looking for an introduction to the study of law in England and Wales, such as those with no previous legal education and overseas lawyers. It will also be suitable for former law students who would like a refresher before embarking on the SQE and may even introduce some concepts not covered at university, but which will be covered in the SQE exams.
If you are looking to proceed on to the SQE, you are recommended to take Foundations in Law in the 6 weeks prior to the BARBRI SQE1 Prep course. Please see our bundles below for more details.
