BPP welcomes the wrong students to the LPC
05 February 2010
BPP has welcomed its future LPC students with customary efficiency by addressing their acceptance emails to the wrong people.

Students complained after the college sent out emails using the wrong Christian names and even, in some cases, got the wrong gender. This sort of thing doesn't go down well with students who have just signed away £12,500 (the equivalent of over 3,000 doner kebabs or almost 5,000 pints of lager).

Dave or Davina? BPP doesn't know

The email represents the latest in a series of embarrassments for the law school. Last September it was accused of taking on more students than could possibly find employment and was told to ask some of them to defer their start dates. In November its students were left waiting for their results after its computer system crashed - which at least was an improvement on last summer, when results were delayed by three days...

A BPP spokeswoman said that the error had been a technical glitch and that all students had received an email apologising for the mistake within two hours, all of them addressed to Colin.
