<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you are planning on pursuing the LPC<\/a>, law conversion course<\/a> (PGDL), or the SQE<\/a> prep, the chances are that you will be comparing these two quite a lot. This guide will compare studying at ULaw and BPP University with regards to examination, study options, electives (options), accelerated courses, costs, funding, and study flexibility.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Below you will find our detailed comparison. It is important to note that postgraduate courses at both universities satisfy Law Society requirements to becoming a solicitor in England & Wales.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The way each university approaches exams is surprisingly different and can be different from what you were used to at your LLB law school studies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n BPP University Law<\/a> allows certain permitted materials that students can bring to their exams. Students can typically bring statute books that are given to them for each module and some handbooks on areas of law such as Butterworths Company Law Handbook. It is worth noting that no annotations can be made in your permitted materials.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On the other hand, exams at the University of Law<\/a> are mostly open book. You can bring anything you want to the exams. They are 80% open book for each of the core modules, and the remaining 20% are closed book but multiple-choice questions. As for electives, the exams are all open book.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Postgraduate law courses can be expensive. The costs differ depending on the provider and the location.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Legal Practice Course – LPC<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Law Conversion Course – GDL\/PGDL<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Solicitors Qualifying Examination Prep – SQE<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The choice of electives at both universities is quite similar and would allow you to “tailor” your education to increase your chances of securing a training contract. However, the BPP’s electives are geared more towards commercial and corporate practice with modules like corporate finance and international trade and transactions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n ULaw provides more of a traditional range of electives with modules like commercial law and mergers and acquisitions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Both universities offer online module delivery; however, the University of Law allows for greater flexibility for in-person modules.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The University of Law allows you to pick how many days you would like to come in for in-person modules. You can usually choose between 2 or 4 days, and this is determined on a first come first serve basis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n BPP law school does not have the same option.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The BPP and the University of Law both provide accelerated and part-time options for some of their courses alongside their traditional full-time courses. Thus, whichever option you choose will greatly affect how many days a week you will have to commit to your studies.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The University of Law and BPP both offer LLM programs that can be incorporated with other courses, and doing so can qualify you for postgraduate funding of up to \u00a311,222.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As for scholarships, BPP University law school offers \u00a31 million in scholarships, with one \u00a32,000 scholarship and two \u00a31,000 scholarships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n ULaw offers \u00a32 million in scholarships, with several scholarships ranging from \u00a31,000 to \u00a35,000.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Both universities offer a limited number of full-tuition scholarships.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At first glance, it may seem as though ULaw and BPP may have the same programs, but there are some key differences. It is important that you consider all aspects of each program and pick one that is most suitable for you. Don’t just focus on the position of BPP University ranking or on the ULaw ranking, explore a lot more than that! Each educational institution has a lot to offer. It is crucial to find which one suits you best.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You should take into consideration the amount of face-to-face teaching, careers services, and exposure to law firms and their recruitment events. After conducting detailed research you will be able to answer is BPP better than the University of Law or vice versa. You should also allow yourself ample time to develop your commercial awareness. If you cannot secure formal law work experience<\/a>, you should look for volunteering or pro bono opportunities.<\/p>\r\nThe Comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
