LLM Legal Practice (SQE1&2)

The LLM Legal Practice (SQE1 and 2) at London Metropolitan University is a postgraduate course for law graduates who want to prepare for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). Students can study full-time for three semesters or part-time for five semesters. The course is designed to follow the official syllabuses for both SQE 1 and SQE 2, giving students complete preparation.
