Hi everyone,

I'm currently thinking about starting the application process for BPP's LPC course beginning in September 2023. Firstly, I wanted to ask whether anyone is aware of there being much of a difference between the LPC which is entirely online versus the 'in-person' LPC which has face-to-face group sessions, particularly in regard to attainment levels and whether law firms have a preference between the two. I am currently leaning towards the online LPC course as I will be self-funding the course and it is significantly cheaper to do online, though I am open to paying more for the in-person LPC if it is more advantageous.

Another question I had was regarding whether it would be worth doing the LLM LPC (12 month course) or rather whether I should just stick to the straight LPC (9 month course). I am currently studying an LLM in International Commercial Law at UCL, so I do wonder whether studying an 'LLM LPC' would be entirely pointless for me as someone who would at that point already have a traditional LLM & does not need to meet SFE post-grad funding requirements. But I am curious as to whether anyone thinks it is worthwhile studying those extra three months for an LLM LPC anyway as the course costs the same regardless of whether you take the LLM modules or not.

Thank you for your advice in advance
