The LLM in Legal Practice is designed to equip you for a trainee solicitor role while establishing a strong base for your future career as a solicitor. This program also allows you to delve deeper into a specific legal practice area through dedicated research modules and a dissertation, available through full-time or part-time study (day or evening options).
Tailored for graduates who have completed the academic phase of legal training, this course fulfills the professional requirements needed to qualify as a solicitor. With a longstanding reputation in solicitor training, our institution was among the first universities authorized to deliver the Legal Practice Course.
The curriculum mirrors real-world legal work, guiding you through client cases across transactions and court proceedings. It expands on your existing legal knowledge, covering both substantive law and procedural aspects in key practice areas.
You'll develop essential legal skills—including research, interviewing, writing, drafting, and advocacy—to prepare for professional training and eventual solicitor practice.
Furthermore, the program encourages you to apply academic insights and research methods to analyze law, policy, and practice in your chosen specialization for the LLM qualification. You'll gain the ability to produce original, analytical research that explores the connections between law, policy, socio-economic factors, and legal practice.
