How is the programme taught?
Each of the core modules is taught using a one hour lecture and one hour small group session per week. After the lecture you will have at least a week to prepare for the small group session.
Small group sessions are the main focus of the programme providing you with an opportunity to discuss law with your tutor and fellow students and to practise applying the law to realistic examination type problem scenarios.
One hour of lecture : One hour of small group session = The best ratio of any leading provider
To help you successfully make the transition from a non-law background our programme includes:
- a legal essay writing class
- a practice examination type essay
- development of examination skills in tutorials throughout the year
- study of real 'good' and 'bad' scripts by previous candidates
- mock examinations in each module
The programme is supported by BPP manuals provided for each module. These manuals (provided in both hard copy and on USB memory stick) contain a thorough guide to the relevant law, self assessment questions and answers, specific references for further reading, the tutorial questions for the whole year and a past examination question.
In addition to the BPP manuals, within your programme fees you will be provided with a comprehensive range of materials for each subject including:
- a textbook
- a casebook
- a statute book
- access to a wide range of online resources
- a DVD box set containing all lectures
- streamed audio files of lectures for download to your MP3 player
