UK Entry Requirements

Students are required to possess an undergraduate degree in any subject at 2:2 or above or equivalent qualifications.

In addition students require knowledge of the seven foundation subjects of the English Legal System, Constitutional and Administrative Law and EU Law (see below specifically as to EU Law), Contract, Tort, Land Law, Equity and Trusts and Crime, which they can evidence through the successful completion of these modules on an LLB or equivalent, or a law conversion course or equivalent. (We offer study of individual modules without having to complete the entire SQE Law Essentials course. Note: If you're looking to book more than 3 standalone modules, we recommend the full SQE Law Essentials course).  Please note that successful completion of the SQE1 exam is also recognised as meeting this particular criteria.

Pre-Course Study Required

Absence of EU Law specifically is NOT a bar to entry, because its significance is now greatly reduced in the SQE1 syllabus, but students without any knowledge of EU Law will be directed at the start of the course to complete extra reading on the topic. Students who have not studied EU Law as part of their law degree, conversion course or equivalent will need to read chapter 10 of the University’s SQE1 Constitutional and Administrative Law and EU Law manual in order to have the requisite knowledge of this SQE1 topic before joining the programme.
