    Thoughts about the BPP controversy?

    I can't comment on the experience with BPP during the last academic year but I just started the LPC with them for this year, and so far, my experience (alongside numerous other students) has been extremely horrendous. I can PM you some of the issues we have dealt with if you would like, but it's...

    LPC Help?

    Hello! This may seem like a silly question but I can't really find any information on it online. Is it better to hand write or type reading notes? I'm beginning the pre-module readings for the LPC and it's more effective for me to type lecture notes, however I'm not entirely sure which is...

    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I definitely agree with Lumree here! Sometimes a rejection, as horrible as it feels, is just one step closer to some great news! If you're able to, I would just go ahead and do the LPC. Although firms are slowly moving towards the SQE, the LPC will still be valid and for now, it's still...

    LPC LLM suggestions

    Hello! I'm doing the LPC LLM at BPP this upcoming September and would love any insight/suggestions on which LLM option I should undertake. The firm I have a TC with is sponsoring me but they have no preference as to which LLM route I take. BPP offers 2 options: 1.LLM Commercial Legal...

    Hey! I agree, just google some tests and you'll be able to practise before doing the actual test. Just another quick note is I received feedback on my test this year after the AC and they're looking for candidates that have a minimum score of 35! Not sure if this is going to change so just take...

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Ah okay, that is really reassuring to hear. Thank you! I guess I will just wait for a reply from the firm. I did not bring up the graduate route (2 years visa) as I didn't know the logistics behind it, but I can bring up when they reply. Really appreciate your insight :)

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    I would be completing the LPC LLM programme as the firm also thinks it's best for me to do this. Regarding the post-graduate visa which lasts up to 2 years, am I allowed to state that I would only need it for up to a year? I was under the impression that it can only be granted for 2 years, in...

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Ah okay, thank you. If I may ask, how did you come across your current job in banking? I would really appreciate any resources you could share about searching for a job as an international student.

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Hi Jessica, Yes the HR from the firm said it is better to do the LPC before I start my TC but I have sent an email outlining my specific circumstances and am waiting for a reply. I just graduated from the LLB for Graduates program this year and my Tier 4 visa is set to expire in October 2020. I...

    Ask a future MC Trainee (international applicant) anything

    Hi Carina, Congrats! I am also an international student who just secured a 2022 TC with an international firm!! I was just wondering about visa situations. Since my TC starts in 2022, I will have a gap year before or after completing the LPC. What are you doing in terms of this? The firm stated...

    I can't believe I'm writing this, because at some points, I really didn't think this day would come but I'm so excited to share that I have accepted a training contract with Eversheds Sutherland starting September 2022! As an international student from Toronto, Canada I slowly realised that it...

    Pinsent Masons Interview

    Congrats on getting through to the AC! :) I've never done a SWOT before but to prepare, I would just google "swot analysis tips", or "swot analysis tutorials". I'm sure there's a lot of resources online that you can look through to become more familiar with it/prepared. Good luck :)

    Streamlining applications to Law firms

    That's a really good list so far, and I completely agree with the above replies as well. I would suggest reflecting upon your own values (aside from practice areas), on where you truly want to end up. Do you want to work for a firm that doesn't have much of a work/life balance and that doesn't...

    Hello! Hope you are all doing well. I just got invited for a telephone interview for direct TC with Browne Jacobson. The interview is only supposed to be around 15 mins. If anyone has any previous experience with this firm, I would really appreciate any tips/suggestions you may have! Thanks :)

    Vacation Scheme Preparation

    I have also been concerned about how to leave a lasting impression on the firm due to the schemes being virtual. But I also believe that firms understand the situation that everyone has been put in. By firms still accommodating and holding virtual vac schemes instead of cancelling it altogether...
