About OXILP

The Oxford Institute of Legal Practice (OXILP) was established jointly by the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University in 1993 to specialise in the delivery of solicitor training and t he Legal Practice Course (LPC).

In 2008 OXILP became a fully integrated part of Oxford Brookes University within the School of Social Sciences and Law.

Students on the legal practice coursehave access to all the facilities of the Oxford Brookes University as well as its home in Headington Hill Hall, a beautiful, Grade II listed mansion dating back to 1771.

Following the success of its LPC, OXILP has more recently become one of only five QLTT providers in the country, enabling overseas lawyers and barristers to qualify as solicitors in England and Wales.

OXILP also prides itself on its continuing professional development expertise, and has developed a series of CPD courses covering all areas of practice.
