    Solicitors Qualifying Examination & further study

    The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) have introduced an independent assessment, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE), to ensure all solicitors meet consistent, high standards at the point of entry to the profession.

    This new route to qualification will have four elements to enable students to qualify as a solicitor:

    • Have passed SQE stages 1 and 2 to demonstrate they have the right knowledge and skills
    • Have been awarded a degree or an equivalent qualification, or have gained equivalent experience
    • Have completed at least two years of qualifying legal work experience
    • Be of satisfactory character and suitability.

    The SQE is now the only way to qualify as a solicitor.

    For further information visit the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) website.

    Further study

    Once you have completed an undergraduate Honours degree, you can further develop your education by studying for a postgraduate degree. Please visit our postgraduate section for further details about our range of Master's degrees.
