BPP Students Association
The BPP Students Association is a thriving community at BPP, including future lawyers, accountants, marketing and business professionals. We are lucky in that the range of our student societies reflects a much wider range of interests.
Across all sites, BPP students can get involved in any capacity they wish. Of course, the courses are demanding, but many attend meetings and events, as well as help to run the societies as extra-curricular activities in positions of responsibility.
Here’s a video of the fun which we had at the recent BPP Students Fair, held at BPP Waterloo (London.)
The BPP Legal Awareness Society (click here for details) is an unique Society, run by current students at BPP, and exists to promote the importance of both complying with and cultivating a culture of competitive advantage from the law and regulation to improve the corporate strategy to clients and their stakeholders, from a client’s perspective. Any current, past, or future student at BPP, across any of the campuses, may attend our meetings. It is one of very many societies:

A new podcasting initiative from BPP Legal Awareness and Commercial Awareness Student Societies
Harry Walker, President of the Commercial Awareness Society at BPP, and I have decided to launch immediately a series of podcasts.
These podcasts will be recorded by me using mobile apparatus (a MacBook Air and Yeti microphone).
The podcasts will cover issues interesting to members of our BPP student societies which are complementary. The BPP Legal Awareness Society promotes the importance of law to business, and the BPP Commercial Awareness Society promotes the importance of business to law.
The podcasts will therefore be considering topical issues of importance to our members, such as the Legal Services Act, anti-bribery legislation and ringfencing in financial regulation.
The podcasts are wholly a project of the aforementioned student societies, and BPP has no involvement. Any views or opinions in the podcasts are personal to the authors, and will be the responsibility of the BPP Legal Awareness Society and the BPP Commercial Awareness Society.
This podcast is a great way to demonstrate on training contract or vacation placement application forms that you have an ability to work in teams and that you are developing commercial awareness, which is a very important competence for trainee corporate lawyers.
Harry and I are recruiting for a team of BPP students without delay, with a view to an immediate start in recruitment for the podcast and its recording. Selection will be done on a first-come basis. You don’t have to be at BPP to participate, but priority will be given to members of BPP.
No prior experience or in-depth knowledge of law/business is necessary.
To express an interest, please email as soon as possible to correspondence@lasmeetings.org putting ‘podcasts’ in the subject line.
