Our flexible timetable means, as a UK student, you can study during the day (on campus), in the evening (online) or by any workable combination of the two. If you are an international student, you can study online in the evenings (UK time) at  Legal Practice (SQE1 and 2) degree offered at London Metropolitan University .

Designed for law graduates who want to have the best possible preparation for Parts One and Two of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1 and 2), the Legal Practice (SQE 1 and 2) LLM also includes a dissertation to allow you to achieve a full LLM degree. This means government funding may be available via a Postgraduate Master’s Loan.

To qualify as a solicitor, you will need to pass both SQE exams, hold a degree or equivalent qualification/experience, have two years of qualifying work experience and meet the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s character and suitability requirements.

Whichever you choose, you will have live workshop sessions with highly qualified legal practitioners, who will be able to guide you through the intricacies of the SQE syllabus and introduce you to the techniques needed to pass the rigorous SQE examinations. 

In preparation for SQE 1, you will study two modules (each worth 30 credits), which exactly match the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) syllabuses for Functioning Legal Knowledge, as assessed in the SQE 1 examination.
