Description:

The LLM Law and Practice is an advanced legal studies course that is structured to prepare you to undertake the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination (‘SQE’) Stage 1 after successful completion of this course. Therefore, this course aims to provide you with preparatory grounding towards SQE Stage 1 with assessments that predominately consist of ‘multiple-choice questions’ examinations, which will provide you with a solid foundation to successfully undertake the SQE Stage 1. You will also gain practical and applied legal knowledge through problem-based learning that is designed to enhance your employability in the legal sector. The course content incorporates legal skills, including legal research and analysis, drafting and writing that will be useful for legal practice. However, you will also need to complete the SQE Stage 2 assessments, a minimum of two years period of qualifying work experience and meet the Character and Suitability Rules, as required by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority, for admission to the solicitors’ profession.
