Study Details: 1 Year Full-time 2 Years Part-time
We are currently the only SQE preparation course that covers the FLK1 subjects, FLK2 subjects, an introduction to SQE2 and some QWE for both law and non-law graduate students.
The LLM Professional Practice with a Solicitors Qualification Examination (SQE) pathway offers you the opportunity to prepare for SQE1, obtain an introduction to SQE2 legal skills and acquire some Qualifying Work Experience (QWE). In the process, you will gain an internationally recognised LLM qualification.
Students must achieve an undergraduate degree of class 2:2 or above and will then be placed into either the law graduate or non-law graduate stream.
For the law graduate stream, students must have a LLB (Hons) degree, a Common Professional Examination/Graduate Diploma in Law, or a combined studies degree including the foundation law subjects. Students who have reached the appropriate level of qualification with the Institute of Legal Executives are also eligible for consideration for admission to the law graduate stream.
For the non-law graduate stream, students must achieve an undergraduate degree with a classification of 2:2 or above in any subject.
