Welcome by Joint Directors of LPC Programmes
The LPC is an innovative and professional programme designed to prepare you for
work-based learning and as a general foundation for legal practice.
To ensure the programme is relevant to the current needs of firms and businesses it is
designed in conjunction with a number of leading law firms and you are taught by
experienced practitioners using high-quality materials and facilities.
At the end of the programme you will be able to advise a client in relation to their legal
problems, comply with professional standards and codes and develop commercial
awareness. All students will leave the programme with relevant knowledge for
practice, practical skills and professional attitudes.
The LPC is delivered using a combination of face to face and online teaching.
Classroom work is enhanced and supported through the use of e-learning
technologies.
All programme materials are designed to create realistic exercises within the context of
principal case studies which are transactional in nature and which replicate the kind of
tasks that a trainee may be required to carry out in practice. These materials will, in
addition, assist you to develop professional attitudes (organisation, maturity,
awareness of the demands of practice and professional ethics).
You are encouraged to approach the programme with a strong work ethic and to view
the programme as ‘day one’ of your professional career as a solicitor. This is
supported by the professional culture adopted by all members of the LPC teaching and
management team.
You will also be able to complement your studies on the LPC with our Practice Ready
range of extra-curricular activities, including the Employability Week, and the ‘Law Firm
as a Business module’. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a legal
advice clinic and other pro bono work.
In summary, we have designed a distinctive, flexible, practical and relevant programme
of legal education, in the broadest sense, to equip you for legal practice. We wish you
the best of luck in your studies with us.
