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 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. In 2011 for-profit BPP University College was warned about its ‘misleading ‘marketing material by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), the education sector’s quality watchdog. 〔https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/bpp-university-college-criticised-in-qaa-report/2002048.article〕 ==History== The university was founded by Alan Brierley, Richard Price and Charles Prior in 1976 as Brierley Price Prior to provide exam training to accountancy students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BPP FAQs: A little bit of history )〕 In 1992 BPP Law School was founded and in 2005 joined forces with the newly formed BPP Business School under the name BPP College.〔 In 2007 BPP College obtained degree-awarding powers, the first publicly owned private company in the UK to do so, based on examination by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
