FEES AND FUNDING
At BPP we understand that every student is different, so we work
hard to accommodate personal circumstances. We offer flexible
payment options for many of our programmes, and our Finance
Office specialists are here to provide expert support and advice
to help you achieve your goals.
UNDERGRADUATE FUNDING FOR UK STUDENTS
As a BPP undergraduate student you’re fully entitled to apply for
government funding — just as you would if you were studying for
a degree at any other UK university. Explore your options in detail
on the Directgov website at directgov.uk
Additional funding
Whatever your financial circumstances or social background,
we believe you have a right to develop your talents. This not
only benefits you, but also helps grow and develop the diverse
companies and professions who recruit our students. That’s why
we offer a range of discretionary awards and other scholarships
to help fund your studies, as well as highlighting funding
opportunities through local authorities, charities, trusts,
employers and many other bodies.

studentfinance@bpp.com or call +44 (0)20 7061 1301.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SUPPORT
Our International Students’ Office ensures that everybody
receives the support, assistance and advice they need. It starts
before you even arrive here — with assistance with admissions,
accommodation and visas — and includes airport pick up.
The Student Services team also has a specialist team of
International Student Advisers that will organise your orientation,
ongoing pastoral care, social events and career assistance.

international student prospectus at +44(0)20 7430 7065 or

STUDENT LIFE
BPP University College students work hard to gain their professional
qualifications — but there are plenty of opportunities to play hard
too. Our study centres in Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds,
Liverpool, London and Manchester mean some of the UK’s best
nightlife, music and cultural venues are right on your doorstep as
well as great bars and restaurants.
Student-led clubs and societies
Our diverse, student-led clubs and societies grow in number
all the time and cover a vast range of social, cultural, academic
and sporting interests. Some extracurricular activities such as
our popular debating and mooting societies are directly beneficial
to your career. Others are just great fun.
Many of our students enter national and international
competitions and compete with students at other institutions.
We‘re also happy to provide start-up funding to get new club
activities off the ground — as well as helping to support social
event committees that operate on every campus.
STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION
BPP’s new Students’ Association also offers even more
opportunities for fun and entertainment, both on and off campus.
It benefits students across all BPP programmes with a range
of student-friendly services including clubs and societies, social
events and discounts. There are also many ways for students
to get involved in the Students’ Association, such as by running
for student elections and getting involved in the Business Brief
student publication.

Our aim is to enable students to become leading business
professionals, so we provide expert career support from the day
