Summary
Prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) 1 and 2 and for practice as a solicitor. This new programme replacing the Legal Practice Course (LPC) has been designed in consultation with leading law firms to offer a relevant and modern course focused on employability.
The Solicitors’ Practice Programme is designed for those preparing for the new route to qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales.
Training to be a solicitor is an exciting, yet a challenge to undertake. The City Law School has been training solicitors for decades, many of whom have gone on to achieve prized positions in the legal world, so you can be assured that we have the ideal programme to help you excel in the SQE.
The programme has been carefully designed in collaboration with leading law firms who have outlined exactly what they seek in newly qualified solicitors.
This course is for holders of undergraduate law degrees (or non-Law graduates with a GDL) who wish to qualify as solicitors in England & Wales and who wish to achieve an academic qualification as part of their preparation for the SQE assessments.
You will build on your existing legal knowledge and will acquire the knowledge and skills required both for the SQE assessments and for practising as a solicitor.
