To apply for the BVC you must meet the following minimum admissions requirements:

Apply now
Applications for both the full and part-time BVC must be made via the Bar Council’s central online applications system at www.bvconline.co.uk. You can apply online for full and part-time programmes commencing September 2008 now.
Due to the popularity of this programme it is unlikely that places will be available on the full-time programme after the first round has closed. If you are making a clearing application we recommend that you apply for the part-time programme.
Details of first round application dates for September 2009 will be listed as soon as they are announced by the Bar Council.
First round applications are now closed.
First round offers were sent out on the 3rd March 2008 and the first round acceptance deadline is the 31st March 2008.
You can now make clearing applications.
Please note that places at BPP fill up quickly so you are advised to apply as early as possible.
