Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) and the Solicitors' Practice Programme
Since 2021, a new route to qualifying as a solicitor of England and Wales was introduced by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA): The Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE).
The Solicitors’ Practice Programme (SPP) is designed for anyone preparing for the new route to qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales.
Over two 10-week terms, you will study the requisite material to successfully pass the SQE 1 and SQE 2 respectively, equivalent to a Postgraduate Diploma.
The Master of Laws (LLM) pathway provides an additional 5-week elective term and submission of a legal practice research project to deepen students’ understanding of an area of legal practice that is of particular interest.
This is a blended-learning programme that is taught through face-to-face workshops supported by a range of online resources.
Training to be a solicitor is an exciting, yet challenging undertaking. The City Law School has been training solicitors for decades, many of whom have gone on to achieve prized positions in the legal world, so you can be assured that we have the ideal programme to help you excel in the SQE.
Career opportunities
The City Law School has a long tradition of training solicitors. Many of our graduates have taken up in employment in prestigious firms.
The programme has been designed with the benefit of advice from a range of solicitors’ firms and is tailored to equip students with the knowledge and skills that firms seek, especially commercial acumen.
