Features and benefits
SQE preparation
The SQE is difficult to pass without support and lots of practice. We make sure you have access to not only the information you need, but the opportunity to complete practice questions and develop the skills you need for your practical assessments.
Flexibility
We offer this course in full-time and part-time modes. This flexible approach enables you to both work and manage your personal commitments while studying.
Optionality
You can choose optional modules based on topics that are not assessed during the SQE. This gives you the opportunity to gain knowledge in areas of law you may wish to pursue once you qualify as a solicitor, such as family law or employment law.
Varied assessments
This course has no formal examinations, sitting the SQE is done separately to the course. You’ll be assessed in a variety of different ways such as creating reflective portfolios, recorded submissions, essays and timed online assessments.
Professional facilities
You’ll have access to professional facilities such as our state-of-the-art moot courtroom and client interviewing rooms to help you develop your practical skills for your SQE assessments.
Funding opportunity
As this course is a full masters degree you may be eligible for the Postgraduate Loan Scheme if you are a UK resident.
