Course summary
Wherever you study law, it can be a challenging and rewarding subject. At Worcester, the big difference is the personal level of support we give you throughout your studies. In fact, we build our teaching around it. You will develop close working relationships with your lecturers in workshops, when role-playing court procedures in our superb courtroom facilities.
Delivered in partnership with the College of Legal Practice, this LLM in Legal Practice will prepare you for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) as well as practice. The SQE modules are delivered online by the College of Legal Practice, making the course particularly attractive for those who want to work alongside their studies.
Our experienced and dedicated teaching team has excellent links with legal professionals, allowing you to learn about the law in context and gain invaluable work experience. We even have our own Legal Advice Centre where you can volunteer to work with practising solicitors, gathering details from real clients on real cases and learning from the advice they receive.
Modules
Course Modules
Our courses are informed by research and current developments in the discipline and by feedback from students, external examiners and employers. Modules do therefore change periodically in the interests of keeping the course relevant and reflecting best practice. The most up-to-date information will be available to you once you have accepted a place and registered for the course. If there are insufficient numbers of students interested in an optional module, this might not be offered, but we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative.
