How is the programme taught?
Each of the core modules are taught using a one-hour lecture and a one-hour tutorial per week.
Tutorials are delivered live in the classroom or online at a scheduled time - the choice is yours. Online tutorials are recorded allowing you to review them again at a later date. In addition, there are catch-up tutorials which are a repeat of the live ones, meaning if there was something that you didn't understand one week you can go over it again.
Lectures are available in four formats: live, on DVD and as MP4 and MP3 files. This allows you to choose your preferred delivery format and review lectures at a time and in a place that suits you.
We deliver the best ratio of tutorials to lectures of any leading provider. Lectures offer you legal knowledge, but it's in tutorials that you'll learn how to put that knowledge into practice.
All your learning materials are included in your fees.
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 and specific references for further reading.
