If it’s a prep course combined with an LLM then it can feasibly be funded by a postgraduate loan i.e. it can’t be deduced whether you have paid a lump sum for it (unless you’re an international student I guess).Even if it could be deduced, it certainly wouldn’t count against you for reasons of “privilege” or whatever.
