Private university to be first in Britain for over 30 years. Britain is to have its first new private university for more than 30 years, it was announced today.
BPP, which offers business and law degrees at 14 sites across the country, will become a university college with immediate effect. The title is awarded to smaller higher education institutions that deliver a limited range of degrees and qualifications. The move – approved by the universities minister, David Willetts – signals the government's desire to expand the number of profit-making private sector institutions in higher education.
Willetts said it was "healthy to have a vibrant private sector working alongside our more traditional universities". This would create a "dynamic and flexible" degree system and could encourage online degrees, he said. BPP which intends to offer healthcare and teaching degrees in future, will not receive public funding and will be allowed to set its own fees. An increase in private universities could reduce the pressure on university places. Private university BPP launches bid to run 10 publicly funded counterparts. A private, run-for-profit university has launched an aggressive expansion plan to jointly run at least 10 of its publicly funded counterparts, the Guardian can reveal.
BPP, which offers undergraduate and postgraduate business and law degrees at 14 UK study centres, said it was in talks about managing the business side of the universities' campuses. Talks with three are at a "serious stage", but commercial negotiations are yet to begin. Under the model, universities would control all academic decisions, while BPP would be responsible for managing the campus estate, IT support, the buying of goods and services and other "back office" roles. BPP would not hold equity in the universities. Chief executive Carl Lygo said his firm stood to make tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds from working with each institution, but that it would be "too radical at the moment" to bid to take over a university.
