BPP Law School is offering students who don't get a job in the legal sector, six months after graduation, a free place on another course 07/05/2013

Students who study the LPC in September 2013, or commence the GDL or LLB in September 2013, and then go on to study the LPC will be allowed to study another qualification worth up to £16,500 for free.

'This is a unique offer and reflects our confidence in the employability of our LPC graduates,' said Peter Crisp, dean and chief executive of BPP Law School . 'It builds on the enhancement of our LPC for September 2013 by awarding it as an MA (LPC with Business). The additional business modules - which the students can undertake for free - will put them at a competitive advantage against other LPC students.

'Feedback from our law firms reveals that they want their trainees to have business and commercial awareness - the LPC alone is not enough today. BPP is the only law school which offers taught business modules allowing students to demonstrate commercial awareness and graduate with a Masters in Business as well as their LPC.'

The free qualifications are:

• any MSc degree at the Business School (worth up to £11,995)
• any LLM degree at the Law School (worth up to £9,050)
• ACCA - accountancy (worth up to £8,316)
• CIMA - management accountancy (worth up to £16,500)

• Chartered Tax Adviser (worth up to £2,590)
• the New York Bar course (worth up to £3,597)

Students have to be able to demonstrate that they have made a 'reasonable' effort to secure legal employment.
