Law and Legal Practice, LLM

About

The LLM Law and Legal Practice is a conversion course that prepares non-law graduates for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination 1 (SQE1), which is the first essential step in your route to qualification. The programme combines core knowledge and practical application of the law to provide preparation for non-law graduates looking to qualify as Solicitors in England & Wales. It offers you the opportunity to gain a master’s award, attain legal knowledge and skills, and prepare for life in legal practice. This is an intense programme delivered over eighteen months, covering the foundations of law, core practice areas and skills required for the SQE1 assessment within a qualification that will be recognised and valued by prospective employers. You will also have an opportunity to undertake directed independent learning, authentic to the legal profession. If you are a law graduate looking to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations 1&2 (SQE 1&2), please see our LLM Professional Legal Practice course page.

Requirements

Our standard entry requirement is a 2:2 undergraduate degree in any discipline, but each applicant will be assessed on an individual basis.

We are happy to consider applicants who have been out of education for a while, who have equivalent professional experience, or similar.

English language requirements - IELTS 6.5, with a minimum 6.0 in each component or an equivalent approved English Language test.
