The Legal Practice Course (LPC) route to qualification as a solicitor is being phased out and a new, centrally set and assessed, examination called the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) has been introduced. From academic year 2025/26, Northumbria University will be delivering SQE1 training to students on three programmes; the final year of the undergraduate MLAW, the new postgraduate LL.M. Professional Legal Practice and on the Solicitor Higher Apprentice Programme. While students must sit the SQE assessments externally, our programmes are designed to prepare them for those assessments as well as giving them separate qualifications. We are looking for a supplier to work with us to provide these services.

Northumbria University has been awarded research grant funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to investigate the aesthetic integration of solar photovoltaic panels into the built environment. As part of this project the investigator team has created a range of illustrative concept designs. We are now seeking to commission a piece of research to gain and understand feedback from the public on these concept designs. We are particularly keen to gain feedback that may relate to broader aspects of sustainability or well-being that could, for example, include behaviours, perceptions, perspectives and emotions. In providing this brief, we are seeking to engage with providers that have experience of conducting social science research with the public including: research design and methodology; and accessing and engaging with a large and varied sample set.
