Legal Practice LLM

University of Staffordshire

Gain the professional skills and knowledge you need to go on to become a solicitor with our comprehensive preparation course. Through the structured, academically rigorous and practical programme, you’ll be ready to take the Solicitors’ Qualifying Exam (SQE) once you complete the Masters. Using real-world scenarios, you’ll practise interviewing clients, drafting advice for them and setting out a legal case. We’ll also cover advocacy skills and get you to present arguments in front of a judge in our mock courtrooms. You will have access to databases used by real solicitors too, along with opportunities for individual support from our careers advisors. The SQE is the new route towards legal qualification introduced by the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority (SRA). Although the course is primarily designed for people who want to become solicitors, you will gain transferable skills that could lead to careers in fields such as policy, compliance and working for international NGOs. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: LLM Legal Practice (SQE Preparation)
