Your career starts when your studies start. When you start your studies at BPP University, your career starts too. For each and every one of our students, it’s the main focus from the very first day. We make sure your university experience is as close to a real-world working environment as possible. It’s a single-minded approach that pays off. In 2012, 96%* of our graduates found themselves in employment or further study within six months of leaving. Not just an impressive statistic - and better than the national average - but also reassuring for our students who invest so much time and effort. And the reason why as a BPP University graduate you are so attractive to potential employers is because by the time you leave university, you’re more than ready for a job. You’ve been taught by professionals. You’ve kept professional hours. You’ve learned in professional workspaces. Basically, we believe you’re more adjusted to work than your average graduate - and you’re more appealing as a result. “I worked as a Solicitor in private practice for over 10 years at commercial law firms in both London and the North West, so students benefit from my insight and real-life experience of being a Lawyer. At BPP University, we put the law into context so that our students can clearly see the relationship between the academic study of law and its practical application.” It’s this drive to make employability such a key quality in all of our students that sets BPP apart. Our career-focused courses are designed to nurture the next generation of workers. And to interviewers, it shows. The choice of leading law firms, BPP University has excellent links to the legal profession and strong connections with a wide consortium of top international law firms. Some of the most respected law firms in the world send all of their trainees exclusively to BPP because our programmes deliver what today’s law firms need, including Allen & Overy, Slaughter and May and Simmons & Simmons. *BPP University’s Leavers Survey, 2012.
