The Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) is solely focused on the seven foundations of English and Welsh law that are defined by the Bar Standards Board in the context of its academic component for professional qualification and which subjects are also a major component of the Solicitors Regulation Authority's Solicitor Qualification examinations.  The GDL therefore comprises 6 Foundations in Law modules (numbered 1 to 6, and denoted "GDL"), all of which are core and thus compulsory.
