BPP University, Bristol (Barrister Training Course)

While it’s not the fanciest building, the BPP Bristol campus is small, so “you won’t feel like a tiny fish in a big pond”. The comparatively lower student to teacher ratio ensures BPP students get “a lot of individual attention”. Recent graduates say that it’s “easy to get to know everyone”, and that the campus has a more relaxed feel than its London counterpart. It’s also worth noting that the BPP BTC does have its fair spread of optional modules, which range from company law and international trade, to public, advanced criminal litigation, asylum and family law.

It may be relaxed, but that’s not to say that it’s quiet. Bristol does attract party animals to its unique nightlife, where trainers are widely accepted as appropriate footwear. Motion, a warehouse-style club on the city’s outskirts, has made it to the list of top 20 nightclubs in the world. Bristol isn’t short of cultural perks either, and is often the backdrop for movies and TV series. One BPP student says that “if you aren’t careful, you could walk straight into a film set on your morning commute!”
