  • All our staff are experienced lawyers and you will benefit from their practical knowledge. Also you will benefit from our visiting lecturers.

  • We teach in as small groups as possible to encourage student participation.

  • Every student has a personal tutor. We get to know our students and support and encourage you in both your studies and in your employment applications at the start of your legal career.

  • We offer a multi-award-winning pro bono programme, including a Legal Advice Centre for the local community.

  • Our dedicated and experienced careers consultants provide guidance and support to help you secure a training contract or other legal employment. Applicants are invited to a careers event in June, before the LPC course starts, so that you can benefit from working with our successful careers team.

  • The number of graduates obtaining a training contract or paralegal work is consistently high.

Assessments are designed to integrate with the course as a whole. The main assessment periods occur at the end of both Stage One and Stage Two. You will be assessed by written examination in each of the three compulsory and elective subjects (your own prescribed materials being allowed in the exams). The nature of each skill assessment will be determined by the skill to be demonstrated. Other suitable methods of assessment are employed to cover Professional Conduct and Regulation, Solicitors' Accounts and Wills and Administration of Estates. Your project or dissertation will be marked according to the University's protocols for Masters awards. Throughout the course there will be numerous opportunities to receive feedback on your progress.
