Our Legal Practice Course (LPC) is rigorous and practical and has received the Solicitors Regulation Authority’s highest rating in all areas of assessment at all our existing centres. The majority of teaching is in small, student-centred workshops, and you’ll get a hands-on experience with plenty of opportunities to practise your legal skills through real cases in a context appropriate to your area of interest. We have the widest selection of vocational elective subjects available and uniquely offer three different LPC routes, allowing you to specialise in your chosen field:
- Commercial and private route – to prepare you for the huge range of practice options across the commercial and private sector
- Corporate route – to prepare you for work in a corporate law firm
- Public legal services route – to prepare you for practice in the publicly-funded legal sector
Students who successfully complete our LPC will earn 60 Master’s level credits and be a third of the way towards our LL.M in Professional Legal Practice.
