I am recent graduate of a Russell group university, scoring with a 2.1. I have taken a brief break and I am currently working in a different industry but I plan on starting the SQE in September or around that time frame. Unfortunately, I have not been successful with applications, nor would I be able to self fund the entire SQE1 and SQE2. Thus, it brings me to my current dilemma of figuring out where to complete the SQE alongside a masters. I know from the pandemic that I do not respond particularly well to online learning and much prefer in person teaching, although I am not afraid of a combination as long as online learning is not the majority. So far I have looked into the University of Law and the College of Legal Practice.

Could anyone recommend providers that they have had a positive experience with? And if there were negatives, what were they?

I am completing the conversion course at BPP and I have a lot of friends who just sat SQE 1 with BPP and they all passed. BPP seemed to have a 73% conversion rate when it comes to the SQE so I would take that into account too.

Having said that every provider has positive and negative feedbacks from what I am gathering so it is really up to you to decide what is more convenient, which ones offer the most scholarships perhaps too.
