Course Content
Modules
We recommend students take a pre-study online diagnostic test to check their understanding of the key foundation law subjects. This is called the Academic Law Knowledge Quiz and covers the seven academic law subjects assessed on SQE1 which students should have studied prior to joining this course.
Based on results, we may recommend extra revision aids or a law conversion course.
This course has two modules:
- Functioning Legal Knowledge 1 (FLK1)
- Functioning Legal Knowledge 2 (FLK2)
Ethics and Professional Conduct is taught across both FLK1 and FLK2.
The appropriate level of academic law knowledge is likely, though not required, to have come from a previous course of academic study. Academic law subjects will not be directly taught on the SQE1 Preparation Course, but students will have opportunities and materials to enable them to revise academic law content throughout. Students whose academic law knowledge may not be sufficient or sufficiently recent to undertake the SQE1 Preparation Course may wish first to undertake our SQE Law Essentials course, which provides a solid academic law foundation and a firm basis for progression.

Teaching and Assessment
How you'll learn
There are four to six units per week throughout the course (two units per week on the part-time course). Each unit follows our unique dynamic learning model: Prepare, Engage, Consolidate (PEC).
Prepare: You'll spend approximately six hours per unit preparing, using the University’s virtual learning environment (VLE) where all resources will be accessible. The Prepare stage includes a rich mixture of learning activities, including study manuals, multi-media, preparatory tasks and quizzes.
Engage: The Engage stage involves between four and six two-hour classroom based and lecturer facilitated face to face workshops where you will be asked to apply the knowledge you have acquired in the Prepare stage.
Consolidate: You'll complete the Consolidate stage using our VLE. This stage involves a mixture of short consolidation learning activities and weekly revision tests on practice and law subjects using our intelligent revision app.
Assessment
There are regular mock assessments throughout the course, along with opportunities to review your progress and ask questions in group sessions with subject expert lecturers.
There are no formal exams as part of this course. Instead, you'll sit your SQE assessments at a Pearson VUE test centre in the UK or internationally. For details on booking, payment, results and reasonable adjustments, please visit the .
