Course information

Prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) 1 and 2 and for practice as a Solicitor. This programme has been designed in consultation with leading law firms to offer a relevant and modern course focussed on employability. Over two 10-week terms, you will study the requisite material to prepare for the SQE 1 and SQE 2 respectively, equivalent to a Postgraduate Diploma.

If you select the Master of Laws (LLM) pathway, this will be followed by an additional 5-week elective term and submission of a legal practice research project to deepen your understanding of an area of legal practice that is of particular interest to you.

This course is for holders of undergraduate UK law degrees (or non-Law graduates with a GDL) who wish to qualify as Solicitors in England and Wales and who wish to achieve an academic qualification as part of their preparation for the SQE assessments.

You will build on your existing legal knowledge and will acquire the knowledge and skills required both for the SQE assessments and for practising as a Solicitor.
