The LLM program addresses this and provides a distinct route to prepare you for the SQE.

The LLM International Human Rights and Development with Solicitors Practice contains specialist preparatory modules (SQE1 Legal Theory & Solicitors Practice, and SQE2 Legal Theory & Solicitors Practice) that provide you with specific one-to-one support and guidance to perform effectively in both the SRA’s SQE1 and SQE2 assessments.
