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 benefit from lots of support and interaction with staff, including one-to-one meetings with an assigned academic mentor. Students are taught by qualified solicitors and academics with a wide range of legal expertise and professional experience. There will also be guest speakers, who will give you invaluable insights into current legal challenges.
