The programme combines core knowledge and practical legal skills to provide essential preparation for law graduates looking to qualify as Solicitors in England & Wales via the SQE.

It offers you the opportunity to gain a master’s award, attain legal knowledge and skills, and prepare for life in legal practice.

The programme is delivered over the course of one academic year and is taught in two stages – stage 1 focuses on the core practice areas, with stage 2 focusing on developing your professional legal skills within the context of those core practice areas.

The programme culminates with an opportunity for you to undertake directed independent learning, authentic to the legal profession, which focuses on practical legal research and drafting.

If you are a non-law graduate looking for a conversion course to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination 1 (SQE1), please see our LLM Law & Legal Practice course page.

WHY PROFESSIONAL LEGAL PRACTICE AT SWANSEA?

As a postgraduate student at the Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law, you will be part of a globally recognised law school, with a thriving academic environment, that offers an exceptional student experience.

The Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law is recognised as a source of expertise, and as having an impact in a diverse range of fields of practice. The School is wholly committed to continuous improvement in learning and teaching, and to putting students at the centre of its activities. You will be supervised by academics and qualified practitioners with a wealth of real-world experience, who are ideally placed to provide ongoing guidance and support.

PROFESSIONAL LEGAL PRACTICE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

This programme responds to the needs of employers and focuses not only on preparing you for the SQE1 and SQE2 assessments, but also on ensuring that you have a solid foundational knowledge of the law and core practice areas, together with the practical legal skills that are 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.
