The course will prepare you to sit SQE1 after nine months (diploma stage), followed by SQE2 three months later (master’s stage). That means in a single year, the course will support you as you follow your path through the entire SQE examination process, as well as provide you with valuable employability and career development skills.

In addition to your SQE-focused modules, the course goes beyond the SQE examinations, allowing you to adapt your studies to your areas of legal interest, as well as bridge the gaps in SQE study. Areas such as constructing and drafting legal argument, legal employability and conducting complex legal research using legal databases which are critical to your success as a lawyer, but not covered in the SQE are central to the Arden University LLM. Therefore, the LLM better prepares you for your future career as a solicitor rather than simply passing the SQE. 

This course has intakes in April and October to align to the Solicitors Qualifying Examination dates.
