Overview
In this Legal Practice Course from City, University of London you will learn by working on a series of client files similar to cases handled by a solicitor’s office. Our expert staff guide you through different tasks that need to be undertaken to advance a case.
We give you skills in drafting legal documents, preparing letters of advice, interviewing clients and delivering submissions in court.
You will be taught at master's level while focusing primarily on practice.
Career
We will prepare you for working life as a trainee solicitor.
Although you may not have a training contract when you start the course, we can help you to find one during it. You can access our Training Contract Advisory Service (TCAS) as soon as you accept your place on the course.
Our range of support has helped graduates into City and high-street firms in London and far beyond.

Other requirements
General requirements
The LPC is a postgraduate course with entry requirements prescribed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).
Most students will have a UK honours degree in law. Normally a strong second-class degree is the minimum standard required. However, it is possible to apply with a degree in another subject and a further qualification in law, such as the Graduate Diploma in Law. The SRA can advise on non-standard qualifications.
In considering your application, we will take the following into account:
- Academic profile and achievement.
- Strength of personal reasons for wishing to take the course.
- Evidence of your motivation to become a solicitor (work experience, training contract applications, etc.).
Students who have passed the BVC or BPTC in the last five years will be able to accredit their prior learning and so will only have to take certain elements of the course.
Please contact us if you want to know more about this option.
