The course is designed to build upon the knowledge and understanding of the law and skills that have been gained at undergraduate level. This is achieved through the use of realistic case studies relating to the law and procedure in the context of Dispute Resolution, Property Law and Practice, Business Law and Practice, Criminal Law and Practice and Wills and the Administration of Estates and Trusts.

How You’re Taught

SQE 1 and SQE 2 Preparation Modules

The SQE 1 and SQE 2 preparation modules are delivered through an initial series of onlline lectures in each subject area in order to enable a student to develop relevant basic knowledge and understanding. The lectures act as a stimulus to encourage involvement in the relevant knowledge and understanding and to develop independent learning.

Long Weekly Workshops

You will also participate in regular two hour-long weekly workshops that are linked to the lectures yet which build on students’ prior knowledge and understanding of the law in a practical context. These workshops provide an opportunity to test your knowledge and understanding and to develop your skills through student-focussed debate and discussion, problem-solving, reasoned application of the relevant law, and analysis, synthesis and evaluation of each individual’s own learning.

E-learning Activities

E-learning activities will be integrated within the programme of study and will be designed to encourage interaction with learning and to provide opportunities to confirm understanding. In particular, students will be given a considerable number of formative assessments based on multiple choice questions at the beginning and throughout the first part of the course since this is the chosen mode of examination for the SQE 1.

SQE 2 preparation will take place after you have taken your SQE 1 centralised assessments. The teaching for these modules will be predominantly in small group sessions of two hours duration, through the vehicle of the case studies relevant to the specific subject areas, and with the tutor acting as facilitator. These skills-based activities will take place in smaller groups allowing for an individualised learning experience.

Learning By Doing

The sessions adopt and promote an action-based learning approach which can be described as “learning by doing”. You will undertake problem solving exercises, analyse case studies, take part in simulations, and actively engage in the subject matter.

Group Sessions

You will prepare for these small group sessions by undertaking independent planning and research, directed reading and engaging with and reflecting upon online learning resources.

Progressive and Integrated Approach

You will prepare for these small group sessions by undertaking independent planning and research, directed reading and engaging with and reflecting upon online learning resources.

Seminars

Seminars will take place over five weekends in year one and four weekends in year two. Innovative and engaging learning resources are provided between the teaching weekends.

Course Fees

It should be noted that your fees for this preparation course do not include the costs of the Solicitor’s Qualifying Examination which is a centralised assessment prescribed by the SRA and which is external to the University award relating to this course.
