Hi! I did the full-time LL.M. Legal Practice (Solicitors) at BPP Holborn. I did the LL.M. so that I could get the postgraduate loan.

Before the course started we were given a survey to complete whereby we could indicate how many days we wanted to go in for for our Core Practice Area modules (i.e. first term). You either have to go in for two days a week (so your timetable is more packed that day) or three days a week. It is full on, the material itself isn't particularly difficult but the workload is nonstop. The majority of the tutors are ex Magic Circle/Silver Circle/US firm solicitors so their insight was really valuable and the teaching was great. You will have your Core Practice Area exams in January.

For second term, you will have your skills and elective courses. During skills, you will only have to go in about twice a week, it is a really chill time up until the end of March. The skills exams take place all throughout February and March. For elective term, I had to go in for four days a week for the first month and then it was cut down to three. Those exams were in June.

As someone already mentioned the building is small and the cafe is in the basement so it's not the cosiest of places haha.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
