Talk:BPP University

Racial slur

The last line before the References reads: "The University is also known for using racial slurs in courses while teaching student." -- surely this comment (from a disgruntled student?) should be verified through a source or removed.

Requests in the year 2025

I have several requests.

• Old Covid title: Could the "COVID-19 and" part of the new "COVID-19 and recent developments (2020-2025)" title in History be removed? Seems like an obvious part of "recent developments" since everyone knows Covid just happened.

• LegalCheek warnings: About all the "better source needed" warnings added earlier this year, if the Legal Cheek articles really are problematic as said above on the BPP talk page, could they just be removed from the page entirely? For the sentences that rely only on LegalCheek footnotes, I looked already for better sources, but the alternatives looked very bloggy. In those cases, should the dependent text be taken out too, for not being newsworthy?

• Apprenticeships: The section on "Students and Programs" doesn't have much detail about the apprenticeships. Could this expansion be added in, with this footnote?

Footnote: https://www.bpp.com/apprenticeships/employers

Text: BPP also provides apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships in the following areas: actuarial / accountancy and tax / financial services / law / data and analytics / digital marketing / cyber security / IT infrastructure and networking / software / business, leadership, and management / human resources / and nursing and healthcare.

• Law school section: Like the "split" warning says, the BPP University Law School section does look extremely duplicative of the law school page. To remove the repeated content and take the warning down, could the section just be deleted from the main BPP page and then stored on the law school's talk page, for editors on that page to reference? (in case some of it is still useful?)

I've updated the template to the COI tag so it is appropriately categorized. meamemg (talk) 16:12, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Partly done: I agree about the covid title. Will leave the Legal Cheek request as I haven't looked into the details. As far as apprenticeships go, I was brief given the source provided, but the other source used above may prove a bit better if you're looking to expand on that. For example, it mentions they're one of the largest providers. I have hopefully tackled the merge to the Law School main article successfully: I moved what wasn't there and removed most of what was left, but acknowledge that other one may need quite a bit of work. Feel free to resubmit for other editors to address other points. PK650 (talk) 00:36, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello User:PK650, thank you! Quick request - in history, there is now a subheading missing for the years 2021 to 2025. Possible to add one in again, just reading "Recent developments (2021-2025)"? Gregoryatbpp (talk) 17:37, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I added a placeholder one because I think they might need some work overall. PK650 (talk) 23:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

First private-sector company?

The text states: "BPP was first granted degree-awarding powers in 2007, becoming the first private-sector company to be given that power in the UK". Hmm, maybe the University of Buckingham might disagree. Or was the author deliberately splitting hairs and obfuscating by saying "company" as the Uiversity of Buckingham is technically a non-profit charity? KeithC (talk) 20:14, 19 September 2025 (UTC)

Request June 2026

Hi, I would like to request the following text be added to the subsection BPP University Law School that is towards the bottom of the article:

In November 2025, BPP Law School added Harvey AI software to training programs for aspiring solicitors and barristers.

Thanks, Gregoryatbpp (talk) 00:06, 13 June 2026 (UTC)
