Notice Title
T24/0049 - SQE exam services for SLO
Notice Description
The Legal Practice Course (LPC) route to qualification as a solicitor is being phased out and a new, centrally set and assessed, examination called the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) has been introduced. From academic year 2025/26, Northumbria University will be delivering SQE1 training to students on three programmes; the final year of the undergraduate MLAW, the new postgraduate LL.M. Professional Legal Practice and on the Solicitor Higher Apprentice Programme. While students must sit the SQE assessments externally, our programmes are designed to prepare them for those assessments as well as giving them separate qualifications. We are looking for a supplier to work with us to provide these services.
