MLaw Legal Theory and Solicitors Practice
Course overview
The MLaw Legal Theory and Solicitors Practice at the University of Bradford is the first of its kind. It gives students a clear and supported career pathway to qualify as a solicitor in England & Wales. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the professional body governing training and qualification for solicitors, introduced the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) as the new route to qualification as a solicitor in England & Wales. The MLaw programme addresses this and provides a distinct route to prepare students for the SQE.
The MLaw also gives students a rigorous legal education with an in-depth grounding in practical legal and transferable skills. The course develops their legal, academic, and clinical skills at every stage of their journey. An MLaw student will benefit from working throughout their degree alongside staff in their Law Clinic who possess national and international legal experience and who have worked both regionally and in the City. Students can also undertake a work placement year.
