Funding your legal studies at BPP
Read our top tips on how you can fund your legal studies at BPP.
We understand that it can be a challenge to self-fund your postgraduate legal studies. We have a huge range of funding options available to you at BPP to help you pay for your course in a way that works for you.
Postgraduate loan funding of up to £12,167
You can access government-funded postgraduate loans of up to £12,167 across each of our law programmes by simply upgrading to an LLM (Master of Laws) – you can do this in a few ways:

Add either a professional project, SQE 1 preparation or our BTC Part 1 to your PGDL to qualify with an LLM Law and Legal Practice.

Third party loans
Personal loans can be used to finance your studies, in addition to existing student finance options from Student Finance UK. If you choose this option, we strongly urge you to choose a reputable loan provider that is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
We work with two trusted lenders, Future Finance Loans and Lendwise, who are specialists in providing loans for educational purposes - and are authorised by the FCA.
Future Finance Loans enables students to borrow between £2,000 - £40,000 to cover tuition costs. Loans are offered to UK, EU and international students with a UK domiciled address.
All BPP University courses are eligible for a Lendwise student loan. UK resident students, of any nationality, can borrow towards tuition fees and living expenses for postgraduate or professional qualifications.
You can find out more about these lenders here.
Flexible payment plans
Spread the cost of your fees across a number of instalments through our flexible payment plans. Simply pay your deposit upfront then spread the remaining cost over a maximum of 16 instalments.
If you have questions about the funding options available for you, you can call our advisers on 03300 603100 or request a call back here.
