BPP University (reviews)

Pros

– The course is built around simulated client portfolios which not only makes it more interesting but helps you get familiar with using your legal skills and knowledge to solve real client problems.

– Some tutors are amazing at simplifying and explaining the course content.

– BPP offers a lot of great resources to facilitate independent study.

Cons

– Not all tutors are equal, some are better than others which means for some modules, you’re going to have to do a lot more independent reading to compensate for that.

– Doing the course fully online was not ideal but that’s not BPP’s fault. That was due to the pandemic.

The PGDL is a newly developed course. It replaces the GDL and it’s designed to support and prepare students for the new SQE 1 & 2 route to law.

I am completing the course remotely. The delivery of live lectures takes place on adobe connect. Lectures are mostly engaging, however, connectivity can sometimes be an issue due to the nature of the lectures relying on a good connection on both the lecture and students end.

The lectures could be more student-centered with the use of more student involvement however this is at the tutors’ discretion and not all tutors adopt engaging practices.

In terms of assessment and feedback, I am happy with the standard of the feedback. The assessments are clearly outlined, including exam material being available with lots of time to revise and an open book policy for all exams. The feedback is thorough and offers ways you can improve your grade.

There is an ongoing issue with tutors leaving BPP, there have been several tutors that have left the institution whilst I have been a student there. However, learning hasn’t been disrupted by this (so far).

Overall, I am satisfied with the course. There have been some occasional teething issues, and I think BPP should use another platform to deliver their online lectures, but this is the only concern I have. Other aspects of being a student with BPP are mostly satisfied.

BPP University provides a great learning experience with very committed staff members and for very reasonable prices. You do get the value for your investment and overall the university is very professional and supportive. What lacks compared to other universities is the ‘campus experience’ but usually students coming here are not usually looking for something like that.

The university was not as expected. What I appreciated the most was the support of the staff, both tutors and lecturers in taking time to check the welfare of students and progress. However, for a variety of reasons including the fees we pay, the facilities, the opportunities and the outcomes this is not an institution which I would recommend to a friend. As you undertake the course, it becomes extremely apparent that the fee which you pay does not equate to the expectations that were sold to you prior to entering your contract, which is both disappointing and frustrating!

Overall, the University itself was different. It wasn’t like your typical University where you have massive lecture halls and huge canteens.

It was small with close connections with tutors and your classmates. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at BPP and would reccommend others to go there if they enjoy the classroom atmosphere.

Thanks!

BPP University is one of the cheapest private universities in the Uk. It is a university for professionals like ACCA, CIMA,CEMAP etc. Also, they have many good tutors and their branches are all over across Uk.

Great learning provider for profesional courses. Not a campus style university but more of a corporate style and vibe. Extremely knowledgeable lecturers with perfect knowledge of the current business environment

I enjoyed my time at BPP, the tutors approached each module from a professional stand point. Personally I learnt and developed my skills, however, through out my time I began to understand which subject areas I could excel in and which I was not that good at. For example … I entered university wanting to do marketing and aspiring to pursue a career in marketing. At the end of the three years I found out I was better at modules like Law, Accounting and website design. Now I will continue to do a Masters degree with Bpp in Management with Finance.

Overall, one of the best business school in London. Helpful staff and faculty. Lecturers really broadened my mind especially Enterprise Risk Management module leader, made me see risks in a different light regardless if its an individual or a company. Really enjoyed every experience that was offered. Hopefully will continue and get my Masters. 🙂
