Has anyone done the corporate finance or commercial law & IP elective on the LPC at BPP? I am trying to decide between the two at the moment. If anyone has any insight into either elective, I'd really appreciate it:)

Hahaha yeah neither I don’t know much about these things, yeah that’s true that’s an option I could take. I guess the only thing with that is because it’s getting so close to the course start date, I am unsure how willing Ulaw would be to give me an offer after rejecting it initially (but then...

The T&C's state that if I cancel my place after acceptance, on or after the 1st September 2020, then I would have to pay the first term fees in full along with the deposit as well:(

Hi Jessica, I am doing a vac scheme that ends on the 28th August. I could potentially be starting the LPC on the 7th September at BPP if I were to receive a TC offer from the firm after the vac scheme. I have another offer from ULaw (where I would preferably go if I do not get a TC offer)...

I have just logged in to check, but the portal hasn't updated since I received the WG invite in January. I cannot find a specific grad rec number on the firm's website. Would it be better to call the main office and ask if I could be put through to grad rec?

Hi Jessica, I haven't heard back from a firm after doing a WG test like almost over 2 months ago. I have emailed the grad rec team but I have had no response. What would you say is the best thing to do next?
