OUR LAW COURSES
SOLICITORS QUALIFYING EXAM (SQE) COURSES
BECOME A SOLICITOR
Whatever your background, however you want to study, our expert team has designed a suite of SQE courses to prepare you for your career as a solicitor, as well as SQE success. In September 2021, the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) became the new, centralised assessment for anyone who wants to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales. It will eventually replace the Legal Practice Course (LPC) route to practice.
Whether you’ve completed a law or non-law degree at undergraduate level, we have a range of postgraduate law courses which will prepare you for a career as a solicitor.
LEGAL PRACTICE COURSE (LPC)
Our career focused LPC is for law graduates or those who have passed a law conversion course. At no extra cost, we offer the option of combining this with an MSc in Law, Business and Management or an LLM in Professional Legal Practice. Even though the new SQE route began in 2021, you can still continue with the current LPC route to become a solicitor. To check your eligibility, see our handy guide here: law.ac.uk/sqe
The SQE is part of a new, four-stage route to becoming a solicitor:
• A degree (or equivalent) in any subject • Pass SQE1 and SQE2 assessments • A minimum of two years Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) • Show you are of satisfactory character and suitability Unlike the LPC, the SQE is not a course of study but an examination. However, to pass SQE1 and SQE2, you may wish to undergo a course of professional training. We’ve developed a range of SQE courses that will prepare you for a career as a solicitor, as well as SQE success.
Study modes available: Full-time, full-time accelerated, full-time online, part-time, part-time online
