If you want to be a solicitor, this is the course for you. By combining a qualifying LLB and the Legal Practice Course (LPC), successfully completing the undergraduate Masters in Law Honours programme means you can walk straight into your solicitor’s training contract - and because you’ll qualify for funding from Student Finance England for all four years, there’s no need to find extra funding to take the LPC. As well as building practical legal knowledge, you’ll develop the communication skills you’ll need to succeed, and you will have the opportunity to take part in two supervised pro-bono legal clinics, one general and one business-focused, for invaluable hands-on experience of life as a solicitor.
