If you hold an undergraduate degree in a field other than law and want to pursue a career as a solicitor, the MA Law (SQE1) course is designed for you. This course integrates the SQE1 Preparation Course, which will ready you for the SQE1 assessments, and offers up to four weeks of guaranteed Qualifying Work Experience (QWE) within Legal Advice Clinics.
