BBC: Britain authorizes first for-profit education company to confer degrees

A company has been granted the power to award higher education degrees, the first permitted to do so in the UK.

The Privy Council awarded the right to BPP College, part of training company BPP Professional Education, which offers law and business courses.

Degree-awarding powers are granted indefinitely to publicly-funded higher education institutions in the UK.
