About the course
The route to qualifying as a solicitor is set to change over the next few years, with the introduction of the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE). Following a transitional period, the SQE will eventually replace the existing LPC route to qualification.
The University of Hertfordshire’s LLM?Solicitors’ Practice is designed to help you prepare for the SQE assessments, as well as to excel in professional legal practice.
The University of Hertfordshire is well known for its great links with industry and the professions, its?first-class teaching, high-quality facilities and dedicated staff. Naturally, this course is no different. Taught by experts, including practising?solicitors and barristers, it will equip you with all the up-to-date, transferable, interpersonal and practical skills you will need for your career in the legal profession.
Our innovative teaching methods utilise experiential learning to prepare you for practice, including in our state-of-the-art courtroom where you will develop your advocacy skills. We utilise a combination of blended learning techniques and assessment styles to mirror the different assessment styles of the SQE 1 and SQE 2 assessments, as well as helping you develop the skills you will need in professional legal practice. We limit class sizes to ensure that you receive the best teaching and pastoral support. From our friendly small-group Stage 1 Functioning Legal Knowledge sessions, where you have opportunities to ask our experienced practitioner teaching staff all your questions, to our coaching-style skills development sessions in Stage 2. This also enables the teaching to be flexible and focused on the needs of the individual students.
You will also have many opportunities to undertake co-curricular activities to strengthen your skills in areas such as commercial awareness, adjudication and family mediation and to participate in a range of pro-bono projects, including our award-winning Law Clinic. In many cases work undertaken in the Law Clinic can count towards your QWE hours, as well as being recognised as part of your LLM award, depending on which stream of the Solicitors’ Practice Project you choose to undertake.??
To undertake the LLM Solicitors’ Practice you should either have a law degree from an institution recognised by the SRA as a Qualifying Law Degree provider (usually a LLB from a UK university) with a minimum 2:1 classification, or have successfully completed the GDL qualification.
