Location of The University of Wales, Aberystwyth
The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is a requirement for anyone who wishes to practise as a solicitor in England or Wales. This professional qualification is a key element in the vocational training to become a solicitor. The Law Society of England and Wales sets standards for LPC providers and dictates the core structure of the course ensuring quality and consistency across providers.
At Aberystwyth you will learn the ethical basis, knowledge and skills of being a solicitor through solving problems within a professional context. We have developed scenarios to ensure that you can respond to clients' legal requirements within the context of the professional and ethical structure of being a solicitor. Teaching is interactive and transactional involving large and small group sessions where you are expected to work in a variety of patterns to reflect the professional environment.
In addition to the LPC, the Centre for Legal Practice is able to offer the possibility of 'upgrading' the Diploma in Legal Practice to an LLM in Legal Practice.
Contents
The course is divided into three parts. In the first two weeks the Foundation Course introduces the knowledge base and skills you will use on the rest of the course. The compulsory subjects, which are set by the Law Society, are taught in the second part of the course and the final 12 weeks are devoted to the study of three electives (from a selection) allowing you to specialise in your intended areas of practice.
The course runs early September to late June with breaks at Christmas, Easter and a reading week in the autumn. When you successfully complete the course you will be awarded the Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice.
