The LLM Legal Practice is a rigorous master’s programme designed to equip you with both the in-depth legal knowledge and practical skills required to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) and to succeed in legal practice. Delivered through a combination of expert-led teaching, interactive workshops, and practice-based assessments, the course provides comprehensive coverage of the core legal subjects assessed in SQE1, alongside the development of key practical competencies essential for SQE2. Throughout the programme, you will engage with the realities of modern legal practice, enhancing your understanding of the profession and developing your legal and transferable skills in a variety of practical contexts. You will have opportunities to apply your learning through real-world experience, through our Law Clinic, placements with partner organisations, or through your own legal work experience. Upon successful completion, you will not only be prepared for the SQE but will also graduate with a prestigious LLM qualification, strengthening your professional profile and enhancing your career prospects in an increasingly competitive legal landscape. You are also encouraged to engage in extra-curricular activities to support your learning, with student societies such as the highly successful Mooting Society. Furthermore, you will have the ability to engage with the wider Birmingham legal community through our connections with the Birmingham Law Society, the largest regional law society in the UK.
