History of BPP University

The roots of BPP University go back to 1975 when Alan Brierley, Richard Price and Charles Prior founded a school called Brierley Price Prior. The aim of this school was to train accountancy students. 

BPP was granted degree-awarding powers in 2007, making it the first privately owned company in the UK to achieve this honour. Back then it was still called BPP University College of Professional Studies, but it was renamed to just BPP University in 2013, after it was granted university status.

BPP University was acquired by the Apollo Group in 2009. The university was sold again in 2021 though, when it was bought by its current owner, the London-based private equity firm called TDR Capital.
