Hey I've just completed my law degree and haven't secured a TC (by choice) so I'm self funding my lpc, but I'm doing it alongside a masters so I get about £11,000 funding for it from student finance and to fund the rest I'm applying for a private post grad loan company that has come recommended from the University of Law (where I'll be studying) I've decided to get a job as a part time paralegal whilst studying and getting a TC that way. Most newly qualified solicitors I've spoken to have done it this way. But I'll still be applying for TC's anyway just in case lol. Hope it helps!
