it’s part of our DNA and it’s carved into 

our psyche. If you haven’t yet found the 

job you want, our careers service will 

step in. From mock interviews and

We’re currently running a tailor-made 

MBA programme for leading law firm

open to suggestions. Our approach 

is to adjust our courses to students’ and 

clients’ needs, not to expect things to

and academic backgrounds — and this experience informs the 

way they teach, showing you how to apply your learning in real 

business situations. To help you work towards the right career 

from day one, our business careers service is available even 

before you start.

of business, you will have the opportunity to specialise in either 

of those disciplines as you progress through your degree by 

your module selection.

Overview 

The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) Diploma 

in Investment Compliance has been designed for financial 

services professionals and gives you a thorough grounding in 

UK compliance. 

This qualification will extend your expertise and give you the 

know-how to explain UK legislation and FSA regulation to advisory 

and operations staff in your organisation. Once passed, you’ll not 

only be able to use the prestigious MCSI designation after your 

name — you’ll also enjoy significantly enhanced career prospects. 



If you already hold a CISI IOC or CISI Certificate, then you 

just need to take the third module to achieve a CISI Diploma in 

Investment Compliance.

Overview 


Diploma in Investment Operations is designed for operations or 

administration staff in financial services companies. Completing 

this Diploma boosts your professional and technical expertise — 

and paves the way for rapid career progression. 

You begin by taking one of the technical Investment Operations 

Certificate (IOC) modules — either Global Securities Operations 

(GSO) or Operational Risk (OR). This is followed by either the 

Advanced GSO or the Advanced OR to achieve the Advanced 

Certificate in GSO or OR. The third module is the Global 

Operations Management (GOM) Diploma. 

Studying for this Diploma will enable you to specialise in the 

administration of investment funds and custody and settlement 

at a higher level. 


No formal entry requirements. However, it’s recommended you 

gain industry experience before embarking on this qualification.

PROFESSIONAL SURROUNDINGS, EXPERT SUPPORT 

We’ve invested to make sure that our environment is very similar 

to the one you will encounter in a business organisation. Our aim 

is to set you at ease in these surroundings and prepare you for the 

corporate world from day one. 

Outstanding facilities. From comfortable classrooms, meeting 

areas and cafeterias, to specialised libraries, state-of-the-art 

e-learning and innovative study materials, we put our students at 

the heart of everything we do. We never forget that your success 

studying with BPP is our success too. 

State-of-the-art resources. Our ever expanding e-library is 

available 24 hours a day so you can study at your convenience, and 

hard-copy libraries are available at most centres. We provide you 

with access to the same business software that professional firms 

rely on, such as Bloomberg and Lawtel, and influential publications 

such as the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal are always 

available in our libraries and reading areas. 

Online learning. Our e-learning opportunities are flexible and 

effective, and can be used on their own or in combination with our 

face-to-face teaching. 

One-to-one tutor support. Every student is allocated one-to-one 

quality time with their academic tutors — a service that sets us 

apart from many other providers. They are specially trained to 

advise you on both academic and personal matters, which may 

be impacting on your studies or your employability. 

Learning Support Service. We provide expert support for students 

with disabilities at every stage, from enquiring about courses and 

applying, through to studying and qualifying with BPP. Whatever 

your requirements, we’re here to ensure you have a positive 

experience studying with BPP and are able to fulfil your potential.
