BPP University College

BPP University College encompasses BPP Business School and BPP Law School and specialises in professional business and legal training. The schools:

• employ well-qualified and passionate staff
• are equipped with the latest resources and technology
• have close links with the business and legal professions
• are situated in convenient city centre locations in Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, London (City, Holborn and Waterloo) and Manchester

Our undergraduate, postgraduate and professional programmes focus on preparing you for the realities of business and legal practice either in the UK or overseas. To ensure our programmes are relevant to the current needs of firms and businesses they are designed in conjunction with leading organisations and are taught by experienced practitioners and eminent academics using high-quality materials.

In September 2007, BPP College made history by becoming the first publicly-owned private company in the UK to obtain degree-awarding powers. This approval from the Privy Council is authentication of our dedication to educational excellence and recognition of our standing as a leading professional education provider, which is ultimately governed by the powers of the Academic Council.

BPP was recently granted university college status by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). This is in recognition of our role as a specialist provider of higher education. We will now be known as BPP University College, although our full name will be BPP University College of Professional Studies Limited. This status is a protected title and is granted as a reflection of BPP as a degree awarding body.

BPP College is owned by BPP Holdings plc, established more than 30 years ago and one of the largest professional education providers in Europe.

In July 2009, BPP was acquired by Apollo Global, Inc.
