About the course

The Postgraduate Certificate in Principles of Law course is an intensive course that covers key principles and concepts of the law of England and Wales, and is aimed primarily at graduates from non-law disciplines and overseas.

　　Course overview

　　For many students based both in the UK and overseas, a law degree is an important part of a route into legal practice. However, changes to the legal profession mean that it is no longer necessary to have a ‘Qualifying Law Degree’ in order to take the national Solicitor’s Qualifying Examination (SQE) or the CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ)– it is now open to graduates of any discipline.

　　This course is designed to:

　　Allow you to acquire the knowledge and understanding of private, public and chancery law, that align with the key areas covered by the Solicitors’ Qualifying Examination (SQE) and the CILEX Professional Qualification (CPQ)Develop your ability to apply legal knowledge and skills to complex authentic legal scenarios, and Enhance your transferable graduate and employability skills, particularly as they relate to the legal profession.

　　Graduates of other disciplines, or non-UK Law degrees should use this course to learn the key principles of UK Law prior to undertaking Coventry University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Understanding Legal Practice, the LLM Professional Legal Practice, or any other SQE preparation course.
