The Bridge Programme (a suite of bite-sized, online learning modules) offers an opportunity for all future solicitors and barristers to develop the career-ready skills that law firms and chambers look for in graduates. As well as being free, students who complete at least half of the “Bridge programme” have the chance of being awarded a scholarship, which works as a fee reduction against the cost of BPP's Law Conversion Course (formerly the GDL), the Legal Practice Course (LPC), Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) preparation courses, or the Barrister Training Course (BTC). Our University’s partnership with BPP for this programme means one £5,000 scholarship is guaranteed and up to three more scholarships (worth £2,000 each) may be awarded. This programmme is open to all students.
The University of Law is pleased to work in partnership with Queen Mary University of London to offer students the chance to progress onto The University of Law’s graduate programmes: a LLM, the SQE Stage 1 and Stage 2 courses, or the LPC – plus courses for those students who wish to pursue a career at the Bar. A limited number of scholarships are available to students who have graduated from any degree programme at Queen Mary University of London and who will start one of these University of Law programmes in the following September or January. The scholarships (the value of which vary from year to year) will be awarded as a tuition fee discount at the start of your University of Law course.
