Overview

The Solicitors Training Course (SQE Prep) programme at UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) will prepare you to sit the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations (SQE) 1 and 2, which you'll need to pass as one of the steps required to qualify as a practising solicitor in England and Wales. The course is open to both law and non-law graduates; you may already be working in legal practice, or starting your training in the legal profession.

Careers / Further study

Bristol Law School has over 40 years' experience of training students heading into the solicitors' profession, who are now working in a range of legal careers. This includes working as partners in City law firms, in small high-street practices undertaking criminal defence work, and in-house counsel, for example. Our graduates secure roles in many different law firms practising many different types of law.

Our new SQE Prep course prepares you to undertake the SQE exams you must pass to qualify as a practising solicitor, equipping you with skills and knowledge you'll need to secure a role in the legal profession.

Some of our Law School students have secured a training contract/legal work before undertaking our courses, some combining legal work. Others benefit from our award-winning Careers Service, where you can access advice including CV clinics, careers talks, 'ask the experts' events and mock interviews, all to help you stand out from the competition.

You can also take advantage of our mentoring scheme where you'll be paired with an external solicitor or barrister (many are former students) providing you with a valuable opportunity to learn more about your career from a practising professional.
