Kaplan Holborn College was a college of higher education in London, England specialising in accounting, finance,law and business. Holborn Law College, as it had been initially known, was established in 1969 to prepare bright young lawyers from overseas for the University of London International Programme - and then Wolverhampton University External - LLB exams. For a short time at 200 Greyhound Road in Fulham, it used to offer part-time courses for England & Wales Solicitors' Finals as well as certificated courses in individual degree-level law subjects. The best-known course at that address though, and with the largest proportion nationwide of successful students, was the old-style English Bar Examination for British Commonwealth and US exemptions-seeking Bar students (approx. 70% of the intake) as well as for UK Intending Non-Practitioners (approx. 30% of the cohort) until the exam was phased right out in 2000. The loss of the well-subscribed part- and full-time Bar Exam courses deprived the college of a vital source of revenue. The school then moved to a site between Woolwich and Greenwich in South-East London. In 2005 the college became part of Kaplan Inc., one of the largest international private education providers. Kaplan every year provides education and training to a million students across 30 countries. In March 2013, the college rebranded from "Holborn College" to "Kaplan Holborn College". Kaplan Holborn College used to specialise in law and business, offering foundation, undergraduate, top-up and postgraduate courses in association with leading UK universities such as Anglia Ruskin University, and the University of the West of England. The College had a diverse mix of students from the UK, EU and the rest of the world. Three- and four-year undergraduate degrees used to cost £5,995 per annum. Two-year degrees were charged at £9,000. Kaplan Holborn College had recently received a commendable outcome from the QAA (June 2013). 〔(Kaplan Holborn College June 2013 QAA Review )〕 Kaplan Holborn College closed once and for all in September 2015. It is no longer taking new applications. 〔http://www.holborncollege.ac.uk/〕 == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holborn College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
