For London - yes, the price is higher. For other campuses, the price is the same/similar to online.
I’m doing the LPC part time in person at BPP, but have had to have a couple of online classes where our tutors were ill and the in person sessions were cancelled. Personally I didn’t get on with the online classes at all.
BPP use the Adobe Connect platform. The tutor has their camera and microphone on, so you can see and hear them, but you have your camera and microphone off. So the tutor can’t see or hear you and you can’t see or hear anyone else in the class. You answer questions and do the group work by typing in a chat box (I think you can ask the tutor to put your mic on if you want to say something, but in my experience no one ever did). this makes it really disjointed as the tutor will ask the class a question and then you all sit there waiting for someone to type the answer. It’s also really easy for people to not engage/ get involved as no one can see or hear you - so a handful of people tend to do all the work with most people just passively watching.
I found that all the topics I covered in the online sessions I had to go back over again by myself as they just didn’t stick with me. I also really like social aspect of being able to see/talk to my classmates and build friendships and support each other (which I don’t think you get as much if you’re just seeing usernames on a screen). But having said all that, I have a friend doing the PGDL online at BPP and he’s getting on really well with it and doesn’t have any issues with the online set up. Ultimately the teachers and the content of the classes are the same, so it just comes down to your own personal learning style and how much you value the in person socialisation.
sorry for the long answer but hope that helps!
Nope. Someone I know who did the last week of the vac scheme heard back saying that we would hear back before the end of this week, but also potentially on Monday.
I have a Freshfields AC tomorrow and I'm super nervous! Any last minute tips/advice would be hugely appreciated!
Anyone have any idea when Clifford Chance may be opening their TC application? Usually it’s early August.
Hi, it is open! Here is the link: https://ccllp.taleo.net/careersection/ex/jobdetail.ftl?job=JR-3735&lang=en
I think just email grad recruitment asking for your scores. A lot of firms will just give them to you
Anyone heard from Weil since the holding email?
