Professional Masters in Solicitors Legal Practice

Course information

This course will equip you with the tools to prepare for the SQE 1 and SQE 2 assessments.

The programme offers a highly practical learning environment, designed to prepare you for a career as a Solicitor.

The pathway options will allow you to expand your legal knowledge outside the Functioning Legal Knowledge required by the SQE and focus on issues such as Immigration, Employment and Intellectual Property (subject to availability).

The assessments on the programme will replicate the SQE 1 in style of questions and the practical skills assessed by SQE 2. This is a new course, but 88% of our Legal Practice Degree Apprenticeship students passed the SQE 1 exam, which is above the national average pass rate of 56%. The course also offers you the ability to gain qualifying work experience through participation on the pathway modules.
