The LLM Legal Practice at the University of South Wales is designed for aspiring legal professionals seeking to gain an internationally recognised qualification that integrates with their practical legal training. This postgraduate Masters degree equips you with an in-depth understanding of core legal areas such as business law, property law, and litigation, alongside essential skills for effective legal practice. You will develop critical academic study and research capabilities, preparing you for the complexities of modern legal challenges and the demands of qualifying as a solicitor in England and Wales.
You will study this programme full-time on campus over one year, attending university two days a week. Your learning journey includes core subject and skills modules, such as Litigation and Advocacy and Skills for Legal Practice, alongside three elective modules chosen from areas like Family Law or Employment Law. A significant component of the course is the Legal Practice Research Project, where you will undertake independent research under supervision, culminating in a submission at the end of August.
