LLM Legal Practice

Law, like any other sector, is subject to rapid change and development. Both the introduction of a new route to qualification (the SQE - Solicitors Qualifying Examination) and advancements in legal technology shape how we at Manchester Met prepare our students to become part of the legal workforce of the future.

The LLM Legal Practice allows you to develop key knowledge and professional skills to take the next step in your career, whether it be as a new graduate seeking qualification as a solicitor, or as a qualified lawyer pursuing opportunities for career development.

Solicitor route

If you are interested in qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales, this course will help you prepare to take the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE 1 and 2). Within our list of options, you can choose to take our following SQE preparatory units:

• Foundations and Applications of Legal Knowledge (SQE 1)
• Legal Skills and Legal Practice (SQE 2)

These units are specifically designed to prepare you for the external examinations set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

Flexible course

We offer this course in full-time and part-time modes of study to make the course more accessible to all students. If you are a full-time student, you will undertake the course on an intensive basis over one year, while part-time students can spread their studies over two years. This flexible approach enables you to both work and manage your personal commitments while studying.
