Degree Overview

The Legal Practice Course, also known as the LPC, is a postgraduate course that is normally studied after an undergraduate degree or law conversion course in order to qualify as a solicitor.

You can choose from a range of electives to match your passion and career goals, utilising our expertise within each legal specialism. In addition, you’ll also have access to coaching, mentoring and placement opportunities with leading employers such as AstraZeneca, Barclays, Channel 4 and Sky, through BPP’s exclusive partnership with Aspiring Solicitors.*

Important
  • If you meet all the requirements for direct admission to this university, you won’t need to join a pathway course before you apply.
  • Our full-time LPC can be completed in nine months, via face-to-face or online learning. Students will typically receive 10-12 contact hours per week and need to devote around 45+ hours a week to study.
  • Students should not underestimate the intensity of this programme when considering part-time work or other personal commitments. It should very much be considered to be every bit as demanding as a full-time job would be, and treated accordingly.
