Start your legal journey with our new SQE Law Essentials course, the first step for non-law graduates who plan to progress to SQE1. This short online course will give you an introduction to the essentials of legal knowledge required for SQE1. This allows you to progress onto our SQE1 Preparation course (coming soon) and to qualify as a solicitor. This course is subject to approval.
Live tutor contact
All our law tutors are qualified lawyers with real-life experience in practice allowing students to learn in a realistic, professional and contemporary context.
Flexible online learning
Study when and where you want and access world-class learning materials, including our unique methods of online engagement and unrivalled online tutor support.
80,000 alumni
Our expansive legal alumni group gives law students and professionals excellent networking opportunities.
None required. However, the SRA requires a degree (or equivalent) to qualify as a solicitor.
Academic modules
You will learn the essentials of the seven academic modules that will be covered in the SQE1 assessment – Functioning Legal Knowledge (FLK). You will receive an ebook study manual for each of these modules.
We are one of the UK's longest-established specialist providers of legal education, with a rich heritage and reputation for innovation. Our years of experience in training more practising lawyers in the UK than any other law school has helped our students go on to succeed in law, business, politics and more. We believe in training students for the real world from the moment they accept a place with us.
With the SQE Law Essentials, you will receive online support and feedback from one of our expert legal tutors. You’ll have access to world-class learning materials, including our unique methods of online engagement, and unrivalled online tutor supervision and support.
Why choose this course?
Assessment
There are no exams. There are mock SQE1 assessments arranged in week four of each semester in order to help you prepare for the requirements of the real assessments.
On successful completion of our SQE Law Essentials, including practice tests and mocks, you will obtain a completion certificate which will facilitate progression on to our LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2).
Please note: This course does not lead to an academic award.
Structure
This course includes five units of self-guided study per module, plus five tutor-led online Q&A sessions focusing on areas of difficulty, volunteered by students or identified by learner analytics.
There will be a one-hour facilitated Tutor Review Session (TRS) per unit. These are held each week, usually over a lunchtime session (12:30 - 13:30 Thursday and Friday).
From September 2021, the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) will be phased in to become the new centralised way to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales. It will eventually replace the current route to practice – the Legal Practice Course (LPC).
94% Employed
94% of postgraduate students in employment were in Highly Skilled Occupations 15 months after graduating (2017/18 Graduate Outcomes data).
Choice of Courses
With a range of SQE courses, locations and flexible study options, we will prepare you for your career as a solicitor, as well as SQE exam success.
More than SQE
Alongside our careers support, you’ll work in our virtual law firm, with our expert tutors, and develop knowledge and skills beyond the SQE.
You can continue with the current Legal Practice Course (LPC) route if, before 1 September 2021, you complete, start, accept an offer, or pay a non-refundable deposit for one of the following:
For a qualifying law degree (QLD) and exempting law degree (ELD), such as our LLB, you must complete, start, accept an offer or pay a non-refundable deposit by 21 September 2021.
In most cases, for the qualifying law degree (QLD), exempting law degree (ELD) and CPE, the relevant course must start at the latest on or before 31 December 2021.
If you have already started a qualifying law degree, Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL) or training contract there are transition arrangements in place until 31 December 2032 to qualify as a solicitor under the current routes, as long as courses still remain available.
Alternatively, we’ve developed a range of new courses that will prepare you for a career as a solicitor, as well as SQE success.
We understand you may be uncertain about how the SQE could affect you. Don’t worry, we’re here to ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision about your future.
What is the SQE?
The SQE will be the centralised assessment for anyone who wants to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales. It will be part of a new, four-stage route to becoming a solicitor:
What does the SQE involve?
The SQE has been divided into two parts – SQE1 and SQE2.
In SQE1 you will be tested on ‘functioning legal knowledge’ which tests your application of law based on realistic client-based scenarios in multiple-choice questions. The assessments will cover subjects you will have studied on a law degree or a conversion course, as well as the vocational practice areas in stage 1 of the LPC. There will be two lengthy multiple-choice papers of 180 questions each, covering all aspects of the SQE1 syllabus. You must pass SQE1 before being eligible to sit the SQE2 assessments.
In SQE2 you will be tested on the practical legal skills required for practice, including:
What is the Qualifying Work Experience (QWE)?
Under the new route, you will need to complete a minimum of two years’ Qualifying Work Experience before you can qualify as a solicitor.
Qualifying Work Experience is similar to a training contract and can be completed at any point during the qualification process (although it is anticipated that most students will complete this after SQE1).
Qualifying Work Experience may be completed with up to four different legal employers. The type of work which qualifies as Qualifying Work Experience includes placements while studying for your degree, time spent as a paralegal or working in a law clinic, as well as working for a two year period with a single law firm.
All Qualifying Work Experience is signed off by the legal employer, who must be a solicitor, and is usually also the compliance officer.
If you have already completed part of the required Qualifying Work Experience, such as through a Pro Bono placement, it will be up to individual law firms to decide how they accept your previous work experience. On obtaining Qualifying Work Experience at a law firm, you might be required to complete the entire two year period of Qualifying Work Experience with them, if that is what they require for practice at that firm.
Will I have to complete a training contract?
No, if you do the SQE, you will not be required to complete a training contract. In order to qualify with the SQE route, you will need to complete two years of Qualifying Work Experience instead.
How much will the SQE assessments cost?
In addition to tuition fees, students will pay exam fees directly to the SRA. The total cost for taking both SQE assessments will be £3,980.
The SRA has not confirmed a cost to re-sit the SQE. It is likely that the re-sit will cost the same as a first attempt.
If I start a course can I switch to the SQE later?
Yes. If you have chosen to study the LPC during the transitional period, you will be able to sit the SQE exams in the future if you wish. Although this is unlikely to be necessary if you pass the LPC as you can continue to qualify under the current route.
If you have chosen to study the GDL or MA Law, you will be able to select either route on completion of your programme.
Do I have to do the SQE?
If you’re already studying or training you can continue to qualify through the existing routes. For example:
I’ve started a qualifying law degree.
I’m doing a non-law degree and I’ll graduate in Summer 2021.
I’m doing a non-law degree and I’ll graduate in Summer 2022 or later.
In this webinar, you’ll find out about the different routes available to qualify as a solicitor and how to decide which route is best for you and your career.
This is the transcript of the webinar that was recorded in October 2020.
Whether you’re a law or non-law graduate, want to study full-time, part-time, on-campus or online, we have the right course for you. We offer a wide range of SQE courses from Master’s with SQE1 and SQE2 included, to short revision courses to help you get ready for your SQE exams.
We’re committed to your legal career, as well as SQE success. From our award-winning Employability and Careers Service, to help to fund your studies, we’ll support you every step of the way.
