PGDL law foundations course info

I have a question regarding grades of a self-funded course. If you receive a TC offer but have already self-funded your PGDL and got the necessary requirements on your undergraduate degree, if your grades come out and (worst-case scenario) you failed and exam or got a mere pass, does that risk...- sa174m

Hi Lillith, I'm completing my PGDL now with BPP. There are no textbooks so you will not be sent anything. Everything is online on their platform (BPP Hub). You will automatically have your timetable on your calendar on your outlook. They won't send it as a file. One thing I wish someone told...- sa174m
