Overview

The Legal Practice Postgrad.Dip. degree offered at the University of Westminster has a well established reputation for the delivery of solicitors' vocational training, which will equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to be a successful 21st-century lawyer.

Westminster's LPC assessments meet SRA expectations. They're designed to be realistic and constructive by genuinely testing you and enabling you to demonstrate acquired knowledge and skills through a mixture of written examinations and practical assessments.

Assessment takes place throughout Stage 1 of the LPC and at the end of Stage 2 electives. Generally, the assessments are 'open book' and you're allowed to use both textbooks and your own written notes. You are timetabled to allow sufficient revision and preparation time for examinations and assessments. The University of Westminster and its courses are located in London.

Careers

On graduation, you'll unlock two pathways to qualification – you can go on to do a training contract or the Solicitor's Qualifying Exam (SQE).
