The programme combines core knowledge and practical application of the law to provide preparation for non-law graduates looking to qualify as Solicitors in England & Wales.
It offers you the opportunity to gain a master’s award, attain legal knowledge and skills, and prepare for life in legal practice.
This is an intense programme delivered over eighteen months, covering the foundations of law, core practice areas and skills required for the SQE1 assessment within a qualification that will be recognised and valued by prospective employers.
You will also have an opportunity to undertake directed independent learning, authentic to the legal profession.
If you are a law graduate looking to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations 1&2 (SQE 1&2), please see our LLM Professional Legal Practice course page.
YOUR LAW AND LEGAL PRACTICE EXPERIENCE
We offer an inclusive, student-focussed learning environment and community, centred around your success.
You will gain excellent oral and written skills, learning to present your ideas in a range of formats. We provide our students with the means to become critically agile, analytical thinkers, adept at legal research and with a strong problem-solving skillset essential to life in legal practice.
The programme will include various forms of assessment, and you will be encouraged to develop team-working and communication skills through seminars and workshops, as well as project management and independent research skills as part of the independent learning module. These skills will ensure that you can compete successfully in the employment market.
You will also have access to guest lectures from prestigious practitioners and academics, and will benefit from our established networks to support your learning.
LAW AND LEGAL PRACTICE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
This programme responds to the needs of employers and focuses not only on preparing you for the SQE1 assessments, but also on ensuring that you have a solid foundational knowledge of the law and core practice areas, essential to qualification.
Students intending to qualify as solicitors need to sit and pass the SQE1 and SQE2 assessment and complete two years of qualifying work experience in order to achieve that aim. However, students who do not wish to qualify will gain transferrable skills on this programme which will assist them in alternative careers.
Our standard entry requirement is a 2:2 undergraduate degree in any discipline, but each applicant will be assessed on an individual basis.
