Be bold.

Be different.

BPP.

People once didn’t want to sail too far because they thought the Earth was flat. They believed that riding horseback was as fast as you could travel. They used to say that humans weren’t meant to fly through the air.

These people will always exist. You just won’t find any of them at BPP University.

Our students are focused and confident.

They know what they want from life, and are determined to get it. They see our programmes, and the way we deliver them, as a great way to progress into their chosen career.

It’s because, in essence, we’ve reinvented the university experience. From how you study, to how our tutors teach.

At BPP University we provide tomorrow’s way of learning, today. We’re there for students who want to break away from the ‘norm’ and get a head-start on their career. (Not to mention their rivals when it comes to that allimportant job interview).

So, get ready to face the future. Change is good, it’s exciting. The next stage of your career starts here.

Everything you need to graduate with purpose.

Our points of difference create a learning process that you won’t find anywhere else.

Tutors with real-life industry experience

Programmes designed to be flexible

Our tutors aren’t just professional lecturers.

They’re also professionals of the subjects they teach. Respected across the industry for their accomplishments and achievements, they’re exactly the sort of person you’ll want in your corner. Their experience resonates, their insights invigorate.

They’ll pass on real-world knowledge of the types of companies you’d like to work at, and business connections that are second-to-none.

As well as the standard three year degree, we also provide flexible programmes such as accelerated degrees over two-years to reduce the time and money you need to invest and get out into the workplace sooner. We build flexibility into our learning programmes from the beginning, to help you develop the skills so valued by employers and flexible timetables to allow you to build your studies around other demands on your time.

A career that starts here

Learn with students who want to achieve

A career is what you come to university for, so at BPP University we make it priority number one.

That means courses designed in conjunction with law firms, businesses and employers, one-to-one consultations, careers events and CV preparation.

It means you’ll get all the help you need with job searches, application forms and mock interviews.

Basically, we’ll guide you from the moment you accept your place, to a full year after you achieve your degree.

Determined, focused and assured, BPP University students use our courses and programmes as the first step on to their career path. They accept the journey will be hard-going at times, but with a little help, and a little guidance, they know what they can ultimately achieve. Our employability rates back it up. In 2012, 96%* of our graduates were in full-time work or further study within six months of leaving us.

Office spaces with modern facilities Our students learn in professional workspaces with modern facilities and the latest technology at hand.

Think interactive whiteboards, live webcast lectures and archived lectures available 24/7 online (see more details in relevant programmes). When you learn in small groups, and in environments that are more business-focused, it helps make our graduates better adjusted to work.

With city centre bases, we mean business London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol and Abingdon (Oxfordshire). BPP University is in six great locations across the country. Not just because of their geographical spread, so you can pick the one most convenient to you, but also because we’re based in the heart of business and legal districts.

When you study with us, you’re already half way to working as a professional.

Learn from experienced professionals.

BPP University tutors are experts in a wide range of fields, but their CVs all share one thing in common: they’ve had experience of working in industry-leading positions. Their desire is to now pass on what they know to the next generation - and take great delight in watching them succeed.

Their knowledge and insight will bring an added dimension to your learning and help you develop the practical skills that are most in demand among today’s employers.

It’s ‘first-hand’ learning that adds real relevance to your studies and puts you in touch with what’s happening out there, right now.

They don’t just know the latest theories. They know what happens when those theories are put into practice.

“ Before working at BPP University, I spent 10 years working in sales and marketing roles, leading me to become a Director of Marketing in the travel industry.

It’s this experience which is a crucial part of what really brings my teaching alive. Becoming a tutor at BPP University has really allowed me to step up to the challenge, as they genuinely take a 360 degree approach to learning. Teaching has truly become my passion and helping my students fulfil their potential is energising and rewarding.�

Your career starts when your studies start.

When you start your studies at BPP University, your career starts too. For each and every one of our students, it’s the main focus from the very first day. We make sure your university experience is as close to a real-world working environment as possible.

It’s a single-minded approach that pays off. In 2012, 96%* of our graduates found themselves in employment or further study within six months of leaving. Not just an impressive statistic - and better than the national average - but also reassuring for our students who invest so much time and effort.

And the reason why as a BPP University graduate you are so attractive to potential employers is because by the time you leave university, you’re more than ready for a job.

You’ve been taught by professionals. You’ve kept professional hours. You’ve learned in professional workspaces. Basically, we believe you’re more adjusted to work than your average graduate - and you’re more appealing as a result.

“I worked as a Solicitor in private practice for over 10 years at commercial law firms in both London and the North West, so students benefit from my insight and real-life experience of being a Lawyer. At BPP University, we put the law into context so that our students can clearly see the relationship between the academic study of law and its practical application.”

It’s this drive to make employability such a key quality in all of our students that sets BPP apart.

Our career-focused courses are designed to nurture the next generation of workers. And to interviewers, it shows.

The choice of leading law firms, BPP University has excellent links to the legal profession and strong connections with a wide consortium of top international law firms. Some of the most respected law firms in the world send all of their trainees exclusively to BPP because our programmes deliver what today’s law firms need, including Allen & Overy, Slaughter and May and Simmons & Simmons. *BPP University’s Leavers Survey, 2012.

Teaching you more than just coursework.

What do you need to do to get into your chosen career? Well, the right qualifications obviously. But, there’s also something else, something that will never go on your CV, but will go towards helping you land that all-important role.

Call it experience, call it insight, call it natural ability.

It’s that special mix of skills that ensure you stand out in today’s tough marketplace. Because it is this commercial awareness and intelligence that employers are looking for in addition to academic qualifications.

At BPP University, we have a dedicated Careers Service in place to give students this ‘edge’. This comes in the form of professional support and guidance given in a range of ways. Which together ensure you have a rounded and professional approach to finding and securing a graduate role when you finish your studies.

The Careers Service provides one-to-one consultations, mock interviews and career events.

You can even receive advice on preparing your all-important CV, filling in application forms and essential interview techniques.

The height of higher education

It’s never too early to start learning all the essential skills you’ll need to get a job, which is why you can begin taking advantage of our careers services as soon as you have accepted a place at BPP University.

And continue to access the Careers Service for 12 months after you leave.

When you finish your studies at BPP University, you’ll leave us in the ideal position to start your new career. We can help you go further and achieve more in your chosen profession. If you wish, you can return to continue your studies or progress your professional qualifications.

BPP Law School’s Pro Bono Centre

For example, you can take advantage of BPP University’s postgraduate programmes in law, business, finance and health as you take your career to its next logical stage. For others, its BPP’s Professional Education and Professional Development courses that will help you qualify for the examinations of your professional bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).

Such is our dedication to ensuring that our students leave with so much more than just a qualification, we have award-winning Pro Bono opportunities – where, our law students can take part in a wide range of legal services.

Just as importantly, you are also offered ‘Career Ready Skills’ workshops throughout the year. Developed with employers, these have been identified as the skills critical to the success of organisations and cover areas as diverse as negotiation and presentation techniques to time management.

The BPP Group has over 35 years of experience in preparing professionals for ongoing qualifications It’s safe to say that BPP helps support the careers of their students at every level.

“ BPP University has excellent links to the law firms and chambers, which demonstrates the absolute professional relevance of their courses. Coupled with the practical experience of the tutors, they bring together the world of theory and practice brilliantly.

BPP University don’t just say that their courses are professionally focused - these elements prove it.”

Helping you work towards a career.

It’s amazing how far we’ve gone to recreate different workplaces for our students. The rooms you’ll find yourself in have been modernised into much more work-focused learning environments.

But why be different? Well, it’s much more career led for starters and gives our students the edge when it comes to getting a job. Because students learn what it’s like to be in their chosen profession.

Of course, our classrooms might look like office environments and workplaces, but they’re still classrooms with all the learning equipment you’ll need. This includes essential kit like interactive smartboards and whiteboards as well as learning tools such as classroom recording equipment so that you can play back to your performance and evaluate it.

What all this means is that studying at BPP University gets you closer to a real-life working experience.

Plus, we have mock courtrooms for law students so that you can experience what it’s like to stand in front of a judge and put your case, as well as clinical space for our health students.

London As one of the major and most iconic cities in the world, the capital of England is hard to beat. For business alone, it’s one of the world’s main financial centres, with over half of the UK’s top 100 companies and nearly a quarter of the 500 largest companies in Europe choosing it as their base. We’ve set up four separate study centres in key locations within the city.

Renowned internationally, London is a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis with attractions around every corner. Whatever you’re interested in, you’ll find there’s more of it than you ever imagined.

So, you can take your pick from the very best that London has to offer and get the maximum from your time as a student.

Away from your studies, and the list is endless.

There are tourist attractions, world heritage sites and historical points of interest at the end of every tube stop. Sport, shopping and food are all well-served.

And as the home of arts, music and culture in Britain (and arguably, Europe), it’s no surprise that London welcomes in an ever-increasing number of visitors.

London is the world-famous city that’s launched millions of successful careers. Maybe it’s time to add your name to that list.

BPP study centres in London There are four BPP University study centres in London: London City, London Holborn, London Waterloo and London Shepherd’s Bush. Please see the relevant programme pages to see which are run at each study centre.

Manchester Manchester is one of the largest legal and commercial centres in the country. A staggering 65 of the FTSE 100 companies call the city their home, including such household names as Google, The Co-operative Group, Aegis and the BBC. No surprise then that it’s a thriving centre for finance, banking and law, as well as the creative and media industries.

In the centre of all this is BPP University located in the historic St. James’ building on Oxford Street.

Here you’ll find yourself not only in the city centre, but also in the midst of one of the largest student populations in Europe. We’re located within five minutes’ walk of Manchester’s Market Street and the Arndale shopping centre and just two minutes’ walk of Oxford Road station and a tram stop at St. Peter’s Square, while a seemingly endless line of buses come and go along one of Manchester’s most famous roads.

Of course, no matter where in the world you go, mention Manchester and the first thing everyone thinks of is football. Its two teams, Manchester United and Manchester City are the pride of the city and quite rightly so - they are arguably the world’s most famous clubs.

But of course, football is just one of the reasons why this city is so well known and well loved. It’s also led the UK music scene for many years as the birthplace of such bands as The Smiths, Oasis and Take That.

Add to this Manchester’s world-class museums, theatres, ballet, opera, cinemas, shops, bars and restaurants, and it’s easy to see why it’s among the UK’s fastest growing cities.

Birmingham Revamped, rejuvenated and ready to impress, Birmingham has transformed itself from a once industrial town into one of the UK’s most cosmopolitan cities. Today famed as the largest city outside of London, its centre has been completely transformed and boasts one of the biggest and best shopping centres in the country as well as a lively nightlife.

Of course, every bit as impressive is Birmingham’s business and legal credentials. Today, it is ranked as a beta-world city by the Globalisation and World Cities Research Network in recognition of its importance in the economic global system. Which makes perfect sense when you see the international businesses that Birmingham has attracted, including some of the biggest names in banking, finance law and insurance.

It’s in Birmingham’s commercial centre of the Colmore business and legal district that you’ll find BPP University. Students can immerse themselves in the city’s bustling environment while still enjoying all the sights and sounds that this vibrant city has to offer.

Bristol Bristol is a big city with a big history. Once Britain’s largest and richest port, it has now reinvented itself as the home for science, culture and entertainment in the South West. Both a European City of the Year and a Centre for Culture, you can see why so many people call it “home”.

One of the strongest legal markets outside London, Bristol is home to many South West and national firms and prides itself on delivering high quality work in a vibrant legal and business community.

With much of the city’s economy built on the electronics and aerospace industries, Bristol is also increasingly being viewed as part of the UK’s dynamic ‘media triangle’ alongside London and Manchester.

The city centre docks - recently redeveloped as a hotspot for dining and entertainment - provide the city’s workers with a selection of ways to unwind.

Bristol also boasts great shopping, including Harvey Nichols, as part of the Cabot Circus shopping and restaurant area.

Facilities • 10 classrooms with the latest audio-visual technology • BPP University library that offers a range of quiet study zones • Free internet and Wi-Fi access • 23 computers • Computer-based assessment lab • Student lounge and breakout area • Disabled access • Free Fairtrade tea and coffee • Snack vending machines • Secure cycle racks

BPP University, located in the heart of the city off historic Queen Square, can easily be reached by public transport. Just ten minutes’ walk from Bristol Temple Meads train station, and close to several bus stops, there are also numerous roads with dedicated bike lanes, and traffic-free routes - a cyclist’s dream.

Leeds Leeds is booming. It’s one of the fastest growing cities in the UK and as it goes from strength to strength its reputation as a multicultural city for both business and pleasure grows with it.

When it comes to business, Yorkshire is out in front. With a number of large national head offices including ASDA, Morrisons, Capita and Aviva. Leeds is the largest legal centre in the UK outside London and its financial and insurance services industry is one of the largest in the country with over 30 national and international banks.

As you walk around this impressive Yorkshire city, you can’t help but admire its Victorian buildings which have been lovingly brought back to life.

Nowhere is this more apparent than at the Victoria Quarter, a beautiful shopping centre renowned as the number one shopping centre in the North of England.

Painstakingly restored to its former glory, it now houses some of the city’s most prestigious retailers.

Facilities

This is a city that effortlessly mixes the old with the new. Alongside its Victorian architecture you’ll find stunning new developments like the recently opened Trinity Leeds shopping and leisure centre, and its music and entertainment arena which seats 13,500.

And just as much a draw to Leeds are its excellent bars, restaurants and clubs. It’s safe to say that there’s something to suit everyone, including the large student population that live here.

Abingdon Set in traditional English countryside, just eight miles south of Oxford, Abingdon is one of Britain’s oldest towns, with ancient streets and riverside walks just waiting to be discovered.

It’s an ideal location for those who enjoy their sport, with cycle paths, a sports and leisure centre and host of local activities to try. There’s even the opportunity to join the local rowing club who train along a beautiful stretch of the River Thames.

It’s in this picturesque setting that you’ll find BPP University’s study centre in Abingdon, well served by local buses and those who drive will find that the M4 and M40 nearby make it quick and easy to get to a number of major cities, including London, which is also only a 45 minute train journey away.
