Course Description

This course is a 4 year Integrated Masters aimed at students who know they wish to qualify as a Solicitor. The programme has a practical focus and employability is integrated into the course. There is a high level of tuition which is delivered predominantly by professionally qualified lawyers.

In year 3 students start their preparation for the SQE1 and 2 examinations. The programme is designed to prepare students with the necessary knowledge and skills to undertake SQE1 and SQE2 in year 4 of the programme. Options choice is available for students to develop their knowledge and skills in different practice areas. On completion students are awarded an MLaw (Solicitors' Practice). Students would then just need to fulfil the Qualifying Work Experience requirements of the SRA in order to qualify as a Solicitor.
