BPTC 2018 intake

Thanks for that, I had a quick look - they seem to be from out of London. I wonder if there is a delay with the London ones. Very frustrating as it's a long bank holiday weekend and the deadline is looming.

I got my scholarships from Manchester on Tuesday - one being the advocacy award (they are organised by someone in London not by region - apparently). Everyone who got one that I know of was told by Thursday and when I was at the regional award interview, they said all scholarships would be awarded by Thursday. I believe the advocacy and excellence awards go to the top 10 students per scholarship across the country. So it doesn’t necessarily mean anyone from London will have been awarded one. It’s only the regional awards that are specific to location. I could be wrong though - but that’s what another student told me. It might be worth emailing and asking. Hopefully you’ve got something and it’s just a late email! Good luck! ☺️

If you have LinkedIn, and search BPP scholarship you’ll seen some London students have been awarded them. Still email, but it looks like they might’ve been awarded! Really sorry!

And also congratulations! Nothing's easy when you're aspiring to be a barrister

Accepted my offer for the University of Law Leeds recently. Anyone else here going there?

I thought I would join the hype on this thread. I have accepted my place at BPP in Birmingham and am wanting more information about the study times/timetable of the students, anyone have any ideas? Congrats to all with offers

Congrats on your place! I am going to BPP but in Manchester! They’ve said a typical week is 3 half days, and that everyone has Friday off! According to friends, the times are usually 9-1 or 1-5.

Thank you for your reply! Hope you are looking forward to it? I only have friends at Uni of Law so was not sure what BPP's timetable looked like. If it can work out as 3.5 days this would be ideal as I am planning on working part time during the course. Do you happen to know if we get to choose AM or PM times? Or is it full days? Again as I know uni of law lets you choose

Thank you!

Yeah I can’t wait, but it overlaps by two weeks with my LLM dissertation! Hope you are! Ermm I think it’s usually 3 days at BPP - so hopefully works out well. I am working around the course to so I know how you feel wanting to know the timetable. Not sure if you get to pick your times, I don’t think you do. At BPP I think you get put with a group of 6-10, which is like your ‘Chambers’ for the 9 months. So you have to do whatever times your whole grouo does. Apparently it’s either 9-1 or 1-5! I have been told they just try and give people a mix of both wherever possible.

I got offers from my top 2 choices! MMU and UoL Leeds. Thinking of going to Manchester because it's closer.
