[QUOTE="time2work, post: 86275, member: 8538"] Hi all, I have come to the forum because I have quite the conundrum. I have just graduated with a first in a non-law degree at a Russell-Group university. I have a place to study the PGDL at BPP this month and have applied for the masters' route to provide me with some financial help. Originally, I was supposed to have financial aid from my parents to pay my tuition and at the last minute they have backed out on this agreement. My living situation is not ideal, and I need to move out in order to protect my mental health and to have an appropriate place to study. However, the funding for the PGDL does not provide me with enough money to support myself financially and pay my tuition. I am really set on completing the PGDL as soon as possible as I really want my legal career up and running, however, don't think it will be possible for me to study full time and work enough part-time hours to pay rent. I am now seriously considering taking the GDL part-time, whilst working to support my living situation. Would studying the GDL part-time place me at a disadvantage when it comes to getting my career underway/applying for TCS/VSs? I am currently very time conscious. Could it also be possible to study the GDL at BPP part-time from this September and perhaps transfer to full-time in January when I have more financial stability? Would really appreciate any advice/help/guidance as I feel at a loss. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
