The LLM Legal Practice LPC is a new exciting postgraduate programme. This new full Masters programme is inclusive of the Legal Practice Course; the qualification you need to become a Solicitor in England and Wales and one which is frequently required by employers for many other entry level legal positions in our region.
Approved by the Solicitors Regulation Authority in April 2016 this is the only LPC in the country in which you will be assessed on your skills in a live client environment, within Sunderland Student Law Clinic.
This course is designed to develop students’ skills and experience whilst learning how to be a lawyer through doing the job. Sunderland Student Law Clinic is at the heart of this new course; you will manage your own caseload, interview and advise your own clients and gain experience in how law firms work through using our fantastic case management software.
