Apollo Education Group, which owns the University of Phoenix and BPP Law School, has been taken off the public market in a $1.14bn acquisition by a group of investors, who have pledged to raise estimations of the US's for-profit education sector.
UK-based BPP University has partnered with the Nigerian Law School to create a three month ‘top-up’ Masters course for NLS graduates at BPP's campus in London. The partnership has been welcomed by law professionals in Nigeria.
BPP University College of professional studies has become the second for-profit institution to be granted university status by the UK's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills marking further efforts by the government to encourage private providers to compete in the higher education sector.
