Hello,

Have any of you enrolled in the part-time or full-time online MA Law (SQE1) course or in the part-time or full-time online MA Law Conversion course at the University of Law? If so, in general terms, what are your thoughts on those courses?

Would you have any general and/or specific recommendations to provide in terms of studying for the online MA Law (SQE1) course or the online MA Law Conversion course, and preparing for their respective exams?

As far as the online MA Law (SQE1) course is concerned, could you please let me know about the balance between the teaching of the English legal system and constitutional law (including retained EU law), contract law, tort law, etc and the preparation for the SQE1? Are those really balanced or is the priority given to the foundational legal knowledge in-depth (English legal system and constitutional law (including retained EU law), contract law, tort law, etc) over the preparation for the SQE1?

Furthermore, I am planning to do some pre-course reading – would you recommend doing so? I noticed that the University of Law's website states that "The English Legal System & Constitutional Law (including Retained EU Law) module requires 25 hours of pre-course study, through guided units with all materials provided online."

I would like to add that I am aware of the fact that completing a qualifying law degree or a conversion law course is no longer a regulatory requirement by the SRA.

Thank you.
