Wondering how to fund your SQE preparation course? BARBRI is here to help.

At BARBRI we’re committed to supporting students from all backgrounds enjoy a successful and rewarding career in the legal sector. We wholeheartedly support the introduction of the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) to reduce existing barriers and strengthen the diversity and representation of those working in law.

While the SQE exam is improving access to the legal profession, most people are not able to fully self-fund their studies. We have developed a funding initiative called BARBRI Bridges to help give more people a chance at SQE success, whatever their personal circumstances. As part of this, students can apply to multiple scholarship options. We have also partnered with a student loan company to offer an additional option for funding your SQE qualification journey with BARBRI.
