A Brief Overview:

The Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination (SQE) is set to change the way all solicitors qualify from 2021.

The University of Law will be tailoring its courses to guide students along a smooth path to see SQE success and into a great career in the legal profession.

Created in collaboration with law firms to cover all the skills needed to become a future lawyer, the UOL will have a range of courses on offer tailored especially to prepare you for the SQE. The course itself will depend on the level of support you think you require. Whether you want assistance in preparing for the SQE 1 and 2, or a Master’s degree to fully prepare you for practice. UOL will provide you with the support needed every step of the way.

When will the SQE Start?

The SR have said that the SQE regime will not be introduced until September 2021 at the earliest. As this language suggests, it could be delayed. The change is significant, so it’s important that the SRA get the details right.

What are the essential changes from the QLD/GDL and LPC?

The QLD, GDL and LPC are all courses of study. Each has to include certain prescribed subjects, but the details of the courses and the assessments are set by the course provider.

The SQE is fundamentally different, as it is just a set of exams. These exams will be set by Kaplan and all students will sit the same SQE exams no matter where or how they did their studies. Any degree or other qualifications/exam results will be irrelevant under the new regime, except to show you have a degree or equivalent in some subject - the SR will only use your SQE result to check you have the knowledge and skills to become a solicitor.

Of course, you’ll still need to study law and legal practice to get ready for the SQE. ULaw will have a full range of courses to prepare you not just for the SQE, but to give you the wider skills you need to stand out and succeed in the workplace.

Any further information will be available during this week’s event - the ‘LPC & SQE’ Course Talk - Sign-Up link is available in the bio.

Also, any questions feel free to DM me.
