FOREWORD
Welcome by the Dean of the Law School
It’s a pleasure to welcome you to the BPP Law School.
The aim of our law programmes is to help prepare you for your chosen career. To do this,
you need to understand that learning of the highest calibre is a collaborative activity in which
all students must engage.
Our tutors and support staff are committed to enabling you to maximise the value of your
time at BPP but the main drive must come from you. We welcome feedback; both good and
bad, to help us continually improve our courses. As I said, learning is a collaborative activity
– we look forward to collaborating with you to deliver high quality legal education.
Let’s have a great time together!
Good luck with your education and your future.

Welcome by Director of Programmes
I am delighted that you have chosen to study your LLB Law degree with BPP Law School.
At BPP Law School we have designed and developed our LLB Law degrees to:
• Provide you with essential knowledge and skills to equip you for the vocational stage
of training and ultimately for practice as a legal professional.
• Provide the most flexible learning environment you will ever have experienced,
through a flexible teaching and learning strategy fully supported by electronic and
online media which you can access from anywhere in the world.
• Prepare you for our rigorous assessment programme through first class teaching
supported by the latest cutting edge technology.
• Introduce you to legal theory in a practical, commercial context, so that whether you
end up in practice as a solicitor or barrister or working in a different sector outside the
law, your LLB Law degree will further your vocational goals and prospects.
In addition, the programme is supported by an award-winning Pro Bono Centre, a specialist
Careers Service and a pastoral tutoring system.
The LLB Law programmes are constantly evolving in consultation with many law firms and
leading academics.
The tutors and support staff are committed to offering you a friendly and professional service
