Legal Practice LLM

The LPC is the vocational stage of the path to becoming a solicitor, and it prepares students for the legal profession through practical assessment. Students learn how to apply theoretical aspects of law to real-world scenarios. The Masters degree in Legal Practice fulfills the requirements of the Legal Practice Course (LPC) route to becoming a solicitor, as well as providing the opportunity to specialize in an area of interest through research and a dissertation.
The Legal Practice Course prepares students for the training contract, the next stage of vocational training.

It is delivered in different ways to meet the needs of students. You can study the LLM Legal Practice Course full-time, part-time, on campus, or blended learning. There is also the top-up option for those who have already completed their LPC and would like to complete the Masters stage.
