BPP University is a private university based in London dedicated to the study of business and the professions. The university is owned and run by BPP Holdings, part of the American higher education company Apollo Group.
The university is a UK degree-awarding body with four schools: BPP Business School, BPP Law School, BPP School of Health and BPP School of Foundation and English Language Studies.
Since 2009 BPP has been owned by the Apollo Group, the leading for-profit educational corporation in the US, that has had a history of controversy. It is also one of eight members of the newly formed Independent Universities Group, whose objective is to differentiate their academic credentials from what they consider the more commercial elements of the alternative sector.
