Overview
Take your first steps to become a qualified solicitor
The way to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales has changed through the introduction of a new postgraduate examination process known as the Solicitors Qualifying Examinations, known as SQE 1 and SQE 2.
This three-month course supports you as you prepare for the first of the Solicitor’s Qualifying Examinations, which you can sit after completing your degree.
This will include:
- How to make a bail application
- The role of a duty solicitor in a police station
- How to bring a claim in the civil courts
- The methods of resolving a dispute without resorting to course.
Entry Requirements
- A 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or above in Law.
- If you have a non-°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡ degree and intend to qualify as a barrister, you should also have a certificate of academic standing from the Bar Standards Board.
- If English is not your first language, then the English language proficiency required is IELTS 6.5 (with no element less than 5.5) or equivalent qualification.
Course Costs
°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±ÏÖ³¡ fee
