Overview

Program Description The new MA Law (SQE1) is a law conversion course and includes the SQE1 Preparation Course, which prepares students for the SQE1 assessments. The course is designed for non-law graduates who want to qualify as a solicitor and gain a legal qualification at Master’s level. As an internationally recognised qualification, a Law Master’s is a great addition to a portfolio. With a strong level of support from the start, as well as four weeks guaranteed Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) within the Legal Advice Clinics. This course is a great introduction to law if students hold an undergraduate degree in another discipline. Successful completion of the MA Law (SQE1) also qualifies students to progress on to study the SQE2 Preparation Course to become a solicitor. The University of Law's MA Law (SQE1) is a conversion course designed for non-law graduates. On successful completion of this course, including the SQE1 assessments, students will gain an internationally recognized Master’s qualification. Although there is no longer a formal requirement for qualification as a solicitor, this course will give learners the academic legal knowledge they need (as part of Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK) for SQE1) and will encourage learners to think like a lawyer from the start. This MA Law conversion course also develops the key professional skills and behaviours required by lawyers, alongside skills required to pass professional examinations for qualification as a solicitor. In all modules there is a focus on combining knowledge and understanding of core areas of law with the ability to analyze, evaluate and form critical judgements about the law. Study is centred on practical activities that enable students to learn by doing to help them thrive as a lawyer in a work environment. Many employers value the combination of a non-law undergraduate area of expertise combined with the solid grounding in core legal principles and legal skills, provided by a law conversion course.
