As the reply above mentions, most firms do tend to send their future trainees to either BPP or ULaw, but if you’re self-funding then you’ll ultimately come out with the same qualification regardless of where you study. From my own experience doing the PGDL at BPP, one of the most valuable aspects wasn’t the provider itself, but the people I was surrounded by. Being in classes with future trainees who had already been through successful application cycles was incredibly useful, and they were generous with advice and represented such a range of firms, which gave me a lot of valuable insight!That said, you’ll get out of the PGDL what you put in. Whichever provider you choose, the key is to be proactive: attend events, get involved, and engage fully with the course. It’s also worth being realistic, as the course is tough, so if Oxford Brookes is easier for you to access and will fit more smoothly into your life, that’s an important consideration. Making things manageable often means you’ll get more out of the experience overall.Finally, take some time to weigh up the different options (in-person vs online, full-time vs part-time, PGDL vs LLM). Once you’ve thought through what works best for your circumstances, you should have a clearer picture. But to answer your core concern: I don’t think the provider itself carries much weight with applications, so choose the route that best supports you and your learning.Hope this is useful!</blockquote>
