BPP London PGDL Deadline

Hi ,
I'm planning on studying the PGDL in September at BPP and I was wondering if anyone has information about deadlines. I'm completing a vacation scheme in June/ July, and the firm would sponsor my studies if I secured a training contract. However, if I don't manage to secure a training contract then I'm planning on doing the Masters version of the course in order to access a postgraduate student loan. I get the impression that law schools accept applications up until quite close to the start date, but I don't want to leave this too late and risk missing out on a place and/or government funding. Any information and advice would be appreciated, thank you!

They will be selling the courses in the weeks before they start. I would not worry too much about this, you’ll most likely secure places 4 weeks or so before the course starts in September.
