In England, Scotland and N. Ireland lawyers either study for 3 years undergraduate law, or get an undergraduate degree in another subject and then a conversion course.
Then they have a one-year legal practice or bar course (for solicitors or barristers, respectively) followed after exams by (if they can find one, for places are VERY scarce except maybe for (1) those with a First degree (magna *** laude) from Oxford or Cambridge and (2) those whose fathers or mothers are successful lawyers and those who can be rainmakers because of contacts.
In the UK, unlike, say, Japan and Korea and some other countries, one doesn't take a judicial exam right after qualification and then serve in the court system. Judges (other than magistrates) are older than in the USA, and they apply for the position -- sort of the way bankruptcy judges are appointed in the USA.
Some judges have LLMs, and a very few PhDs (like the American SJD or JSD, only it takes longer).

Judges don't go to university, they have to have been a barrister or solicitor for a number of years, I think it is 20. Criminal barristers go on to be Crown Court Judges but solicitors can become civil judges. Magistrates who sit in the Magistrates Court are ordinary people who have no legal training. They can deal with summary offences with a maximum jail term of 6 months.

Judges start with a Law Degree and are appointed only after some years of service depending on which court you are talking about.

Three years taking their first degree. Then possibly a postgraduate degree or conversion course to law. After this one year to do the Bar Finals and then one year's pupillage. After this many years' practice as a lawyer in what might be termed the University of Life.
