LLM in Professional Legal Practice (SQE)

Entry requirements

This online LLM in Professional Legal Practice is designed to prepare you for a thriving career in the legal field. The course will enhance your academic knowledge and practical legal skills, while also preparing you to sit both parts of the Solicitors Qualifying Exams (SQE) and set you on track to becoming a solicitor and developing a Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) portfolio.

In just one year of study, our LLM lays a solid foundation for your journey as a solicitor. The course prepares you to tackle SQE1 after nine months (diploma stage), followed by SQE2 three months later (master's stage). In addition to supporting you throughout the entire SQE examination process, the course also equips you with invaluable employability and career development skills.

We believe in preparing you comprehensively for your future as a solicitor, ensuring you possess the skills and knowledge needed to excel beyond the scope of the SQE. That’s why you’ll also have the flexibility to tailor your studies to your specific legal interests. Areas essential to your success as a lawyer such as constructing and drafting legal arguments, legal employability, and conducting complex legal research using databases are central to our LLM programme.
