[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 112554, member: 2672"] You won't need an LLM to practice as a solicitor in England and Wales. You will just need an undergraduate degree (but that doesn't need to be a UK degree). LLMs tend to be more specialised courses, where you focus on a sub division of law. This isn't always the case though, some universities just badge up postgraduate courses law courses as LLMs to help sell them. I would expect these two courses to be very similar. They will be built around teaching SQE1 topics to prepare you for the SQE1 assessments, but by labelling them up, they clearly do not expect they will prepare you for SQE2 (which is pretty shocking in my opinion!). If you have studied law at undergraduate level and your jurisdiction is aligned to English law, you may find an SQE1 course fairly straight forward where you have studied similar topics before.
