The Institute of Legal Executives (ILEX) and Manchester Metropolitan University have joined forces to offer a new qualifying LLB in legal practice which leaves students with a variety of career options upon graduation. The degree fulfils all of the academic requirements to become a legal executive lawyer, so upon successful completion of the course and enrolment as a graduate member of ILEX, it is possible to begin working on or topping up the necessary employment required to qualify.
As the course is a qualifying law degree, students also have the option to train as barristers or solicitors by enrolling on the BPTC or LPC.
