Key Postgraduate & Undergraduate Programmes (designed for the SQE framework)

With the implementation of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) in the 2021/22 academic year, the solicitor qualifying framework in the UK is replaced by a more examination-based regime. Graduates who would like to qualify as a solicitor will now need to pass the SQE, and obtain two years of Qualifying Work Experience (QWE):

Under the new system, requirements of Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) are sligtly relaxed, which can now include time spent on placement during a law degree, working as a paralegal and a few other circumstances. Such a change means that, for paralegals with some experience, upgrading themselves as a solicitor is now much less difficult. For prospective law students – especially those who might hesitate for the uncertainties of securing a Training Contract – a dead-end in their pursuit to become a lawyer has also become less likely!

Professional Exam Preparation Courses

In addition to year-long academic programmes, The University of Law also offers a range of professional exam preparation courses, to help students prepare for the SQE and the PCLL Conversion Examinations.

Postgraduate Programmes (designed for the old qualification framework)

In the initial years of the implementation of the SQE, a transitional arrangement is open to students who have started their law degrees in September 2021 or before, under which they are eligible for both new and existing training routes:
