From 2026, we are delighted to announce that the University of Worcester will be offering a Masters of Law programme that will incorporate training for the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE). The LLM in Legal Practice will be taught by expert lecturers from the University, and the SQE1 and SQE2 online preparation provided by The College of Legal Practice.
The online learning from The College of Legal Practice has been purposedly designed to help students pass the SQE exams, offering expert input on exam technique and practice exams. These modules will be enhanced by tutor support directly from the University’s experienced team.
This course responds to the current needs of employers, and is entirely practice-focussed. Modules on the course will include preparation for SQE 1 & 2, Legal Practice Preparation and an Applied Legal Research Project.
The introduction of SQE preparation into a Master’s awarded by the University will give the students’ a competitive edge in the legal sector alongside the rigours of achieving a full LLM in Legal Practice.
Danielle Hopton-Jones, LLM Course Leader at the University of Worcester, said: “We’re incredibly excited to launch our new LLM. It offers students the best comprehensive tuition for SQE from the College of Legal Practice, alongside specialist knowledge and practical skills in dynamic practice-based modules, delivered by experts at the University of Worcester.”
Dr Giles Proctor, CEO of The College of Legal Practice, said: “This is our first new partnership announcement for 2026, and we are delighted to have been selected to offer SQE preparation to University of Worcester’s Masters students. We look forward to working closely with the University team to help students understand the opportunities available to them through this exciting Master’s Programme.”
