BPP University (reviews)

The uni provides minimal information, they don’t proofread their materials so everything has mistakes including exam questions. They don’t tailor the coursework to the work we do at our firms and they don’t provide examples of what we need to provide.

Although the support team takes a long time and is awful, the course is interesting and the teachers are very kind and helpful. However, some teachers are not very useful and some classmate are annoying as they disturb others.

I have had experience studying my master’s from a different university and comparing to this private university it’s a different experience. Without any expectations this can be fine to do master’s without having any university experience expectations otherwise you will definitely miss alot. The marking system is awful and the location of the university isn’t great. Overall 3 out of 5

I joined for a Masters’s in management after my MBA. This is a good university with low cost and trying its best to provide the facilities for international students. Apart from campus location and technical support, everything seems fine. They need to figure out good student engagement platforms at least for future ones.

Have had the experience to learn project management as my double masters, the environment isn’t much of a university level expectations. Ofcourse the faculty taught their best and environment at the University isn’t that welcoming with my personal experience.

The course is designed to be practical and professional. Great location in the City of London. A cost-effective option for people who want to pursue further education in law/business and look for career opportunities in London. The academic administration system and management be improved though since there are always problems with the updating of timetables and student learning systems. The university is international overall but it also depends on what course you do.

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.
