Professional Masters in Solicitors Legal Practice

Course information
The Professional Masters in Solicitors Legal Practice at the University of Lancashire will develop the knowledge and skills required for both the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) 1 and 2 assessments.
The programme offers a highly practical learning environment, designed to prepare you for a career as a Solicitor, and our assessments replicate the style and skills assessed in the SQE1 and SQE2.
The pathway options will allow you to expand your legal knowledge outside the Functioning Legal Knowledge required by the SQE and focus on issues such as Immigration, Employment and Intellectual Property (subject to availability).
We’re committed to supporting our students, via our University funded SQE bursary, one student will have their SQE1 and SQE2 exam fees fully covered, helping to remove financial barriers to qualification.
