Program Description

The LLM in Legal Practice and Advanced Drafting combines our Legal Practice Course (LPC) with an independent learning module, to enhance your essential legal skills and give you a valuable master’s level qualification. The LPC is essential if you want to qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales. Adding this extra module to upgrade the qualification to an LLM, makes you even more valuable to a potential or existing employer.The LPC completes the academic requirements to work as a solicitor, meaning you can then move into training with a law firm.

Successfully completing a drafting project to gain the LLM will show your enhanced legal skills to a potential or existing employer to boost your career prospects. We have an established work placement programme, enabling students to secure training contracts and paralegal positions.
