Modes of study

The modes of study for the LLM in Professional Legal Practice are flexible so you can fit the programme around your personal commitments, such as study, work and family. There are several different months in which you can attend the Preparation and Planning Module and for each of these months there are up to three different time-frames that you can choose from to submit your proposals and projects.

You can opt to study full-time (completing two projects at once in four - six months) or part-time (completing one project at a time or completing both projects at once but over a longer period of time than the full-time mode).

If you are completing your LPC or BVC at BPP in September 2009 the time-frame of study is shown in the table below.

If you have graduated in your LPC or BVC at BPP in the last two years or are graduating in 2008, a similar time-frame applies for 2008 - 2009 as 2009 - 2010. Please contact Admissions for further information.
