About Master of Laws - Law and Legal Practice (LLM)
The LLM Law and Legal Practice is a conversion course that prepares non-law graduates for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination 1 (SQE1), which is the first essential step in their route to qualification.
The program combines core knowledge and practical application of the law to provide preparation for non-law graduates looking to qualify as Solicitors in England & Wales.
It offers students the opportunity to gain a master’s award, attain legal knowledge and skills, and prepare for life in legal practice.
This is an intense program delivered over eighteen months, covering the foundations of law, core practice areas, and skills required for the SQE1 assessment within a qualification that will be recognized and valued by prospective employers.
Students will also have the opportunity to undertake directed independent learning, authentic to the legal profession.
The Law and Legal Practice program at Swansea University offers students the opportunity to be part of the globally recognized Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law, which provides a thriving academic environment and an exceptional student experience.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton School of Law is recognized as a source of expertise and has a significant impact across a diverse range of fields of practice. The School is fully committed to continuous improvement in learning and teaching, with a focus on putting students at the center of its activities. Students will be supervised by academics and qualified practitioners with a wealth of real-world experience, who are ideally placed to provide ongoing guidance and support.
The Law and Legal Practice program responds to the needs of employers and focuses not only on preparing students for the SQE1 assessments but also on ensuring they have a solid foundational knowledge of the law and core practice areas, which are essential for qualification.
Students intending to qualify as solicitors must sit and pass the SQE1 and SQE2 assessments and complete two years of qualifying work experience to achieve that aim. However, students who do not wish to qualify will gain transferable skills through this program, which will assist them in alternative careers. Examples include:
- Academic lawyers
- Accountancy
- Banking
- Commerce and business
- Corporate governance
- Crown Prosecution Service
- Finance industry and banking
- Government Legal Service
- Legal publishing
