UK: BPP Law School Courses Could Cost Up To £20,000

Ouch double ouch…..

The Law Gazette writes

Legal educator BPP has devised a cheaper way to train lawyers following the introduction of the Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) – but its new courses could still cost graduates over £20,000.

In a long-awaited announcement, BPP unveiled two core SQE courses and two optional extras. Non-law graduates (studying full-time) will take a year-long course costing £16,250 in London and £13,500 elsewhere in the UK.

Meanwhile, law graduates (studying full-time) will take a seven-month course costing £11,500 in London and £9,500 elsewhere.

On top of these mandatory courses, students can also complete two optional programmes: ‘Essentials for Practice’ – which has been developed in collaboration with City firms – and ‘SQE2 Coaching’. The latter costs £5,750 in London and £4,750 elsewhere, while SQE2 Coaching costs £3,000 in London and £2,500 elsewhere.

BPP said discounts and postgraduate funding are available when multiple courses are bought together, and online programmes are also available.
