Master of Law - Professional Legal Practice

The course aims to: • Prepare students to take the professional level qualifications required to pursue a career as a solicitor or a CILEX Lawyer. • Develop students' ability to apply legal knowledge and skills, to both the theory and practice of law utilising complex authentic scenarios. • Develop students' understanding of the professional ethics requirements of a legal practitioner, based upon the Code of Conduct of the SRA and CILEX.

Due to the modular design of the programme, there is a high degree of flexibility in how the course can be undertaken. The course will be delivered in groups by dedicated subject specialist tutors who are in or have recently been engaged in professional practice. Teaching will be delivered through a combination of online content and highly interactive workshop sessions that can be conducted face-to-face or online. This course is designed to facilitate a graduate moving into a career as either a solicitor or CILEX Lawyer and as such, prepares them for the professional level assessments in these two legal career destinations.
