Our course will prepare you to sit the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) 1 and 2, which you'll need to pass as one of the steps required to qualify as a practicing solicitor in England and Wales. The course is open to both law and non-law graduates you may already be working in legal practice, or starting your training in the legal profession. You can choose to study either or both SQE 1 Prep and SQE 2 Prep at UWE Bristol. Successful completion of SQE 1 Prep leads to the UWE Bristol award of Postgraduate Certificate Solicitors Training Course (SQE 1 Prep). You can then choose to take the award at that point and have a break from your studies or to continue your studies at UWE Bristol to complete SQE 2 Prep. If you successfully complete SQE 1 Prep and SQE 2 Prep, you'll then be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep). Bristol Law School has over 40 years' experience of training students heading into the solicitors' profession, who are now working in a range of legal careers. This includes working as partners in City law firms, in small high-street practices undertaking criminal defence work, and in-house counsel, for example. Our graduates secure roles in many different law firms practicing many different types of law. Our new SQE Prep course prepares you to undertake the SQE exams you must pass to qualify as a practicing solicitor, equipping you with skills and knowledge you'll need to secure a role in the legal profession. The part time route is subject to final UWE Bristol approval.
