[QUOTE="G P, post: 81337, member: 6571"] Hi there folks – I was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on the following. I have just graduated with a 1st (in a non-law subject) from a great uni. I have been interested in law for a couple of years but only started making serious applications in September 2020. However, I failed to secure any VAC or TC offers, and only had one interview. As a result, I have no funding for my next step – the GDL. I was initially interested in BPP because they provide the option of upgrading their PGDL to an LLM, making the course eligible for Masters funding. From my research, ULaw do not seem to provide this option. However, I’ve come across a lot of negative press surrounding BPP recently, and am scared that it is a bad choice of institution, especially given their lack of physical course materials (the last 18 months of remote learning alone have seen my glasses/contacts prescription worsen considerably!). Also – I am uncertain whether to opt to study online. Although BPP have said they are ‘optimistic’ about a return to in-person teaching come September, there is no guarantee of this and I doubt they’ll confirm their plans until they’ve seen students’ money (but perhaps this is cynical and unfair of me…). However, I don’t want to uproot my life to live in (pricey) London if COVID still necessitates online teaching in the future. Will the quality of teaching be poorer online? Will I miss out on any careers advice or pro bono opportunities by not studying in London? Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks in advance 😊 *[EDIT – I’ve just stumbled across ULaw’s MA Law course which appears to provide a non-law route to the LPC?? Does anyone have any experience or advice about this course?] [/QUOTE]
