The Professional Legal Practice LLM at Coventry University is designed for aspiring legal professionals seeking to bridge the gap between academic study and the practical demands of becoming a solicitor or CILEX Lawyer. You will delve into core areas of legal practice, including Business Law and Practice, Dispute Resolution, and Civil and Criminal Litigation, developing the analytical and application skills essential for complex authentic legal scenarios. This postgraduate Masters degree offers a robust foundation for those aiming to meet the professional qualification requirements set by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and CILEX, preparing you for the ethical considerations and practical challenges of the legal profession.
This full-time, on-campus LLM is studied over one year, immersing you in the practicalities of law through modules such as Property Law and Practice and Solicitors Accounts and Tax. A significant component is the 60-credit Case Study Project, where you will apply your accumulated knowledge to a substantial real-world legal problem, guided by expert tutors. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of legal principles and practice, equipping you to pursue professional examinations independently with the SRA or CILEX and embark on a successful career in legal practice.
