The SQE for Universities

The University Partnerships team at BARBRI Global provide SQE and U.S. Bar solutions for Higher Education partners across the UK. Through discounts for our university partners' alumni and course licensing arrangements, we provide SQE and US Bar content for LLB, LLM and apprenticeship programmes for students in all circumstances.

We also provide strategic consultancy on course development and a range of employability lectures and workshops for students on subjects from the SQE to legal technology. We also have a range of new content on wider professional education and development themes to offer our university partners.

We look forward to supporting you and your team to embrace the challenges and opportunities for legal education in the 21st century.

Our Progression Collaborations

We are proud to support law schools throughout the UK, Ireland and as far afield as France, Spain, United Arab Emirates and Singapore in offering discounts on BARBRI SQE Prep, US Bar Prep, and Professional Skills courses for their students. 

Our Master's Degree Collaborations

These Legal Practice LLM and MSc courses all include the BARBRI SQE Prep software, digital workbooks, video lectures, 3,000+ multiple-choice questions with detailed explanatory answers, and mock exams to help your students prepare for their SQE1 examination. Some also incorporate legal skills and preparation for the SQE2 assessments.

If you’re from a law faculty and you’d like to partner with BARBRI to embed the SQE in your degree programme, please reach out to chris.howard@barbri.com.
