This Course (LLM LPC) will provide you with the best training currently available. We have an excellent reputation within the legal profession and our LPC has continuously received the highest possible grading from the Solicitors Regulation Authority in every area of the course. Successful completion of all elements of the LLM LPC will result in the award of a Masters degree – an internationally recognised qualification. All our staff is experienced lawyers – many still practise – and you will benefit from their practical knowledge. We teach in small groups to encourage student participation. Every student has a personal tutor. We get to know our students and support and encourage you in both your studies and in your employment applications at the start of your legal career. We have introduced a new elective – Advanced Advocacy – which will provide essential experience for anyone considering Higher Rights of Audience training. We offer a multi-award-winning pro bono programme, including a Legal Advice Centre for the local community. Our dedicated and experienced careers consultants provide guidance and support to help you secure a training contract or other legal employment. Applicants are invited to a careers event in June, before the LPC course starts, so that you can benefit from working with our successful careers team. The number of graduates obtaining a training contract or paralegal work is consistently high. The Professional Legal Practice module provides practical experience and commercial insight, which will ensure you hit the ground running at the start of your career. Studying with Nottingham Law School means that you have all the facilities a large Law School can offer plus the advantages of studying within a university environment which offers outstanding library, IT, support, sports, and language and student union services. The course skills are advocacy, interviewing, research, writing and drafting and these are often seen as providing the most demanding, and hopefully rewarding, elements of the course. We give particular attention to the written skills of research and writing and drafting; we take seriously the concerns of many firms about the capacity of trainees to handle this type of work in the early part of their training contracts.
