BPP fans can rejoice.

In March Simmons & Simmons brought forward plans to create the first dedicated legal MBA. The course is due to be taught at BPP College of Professional Studies’ new City branch which was officially launched this week.

BPP’s new City school will be running the bespoke MBA for future Simmons & Simmons trainee solicitors and a Masters in Law and Business for SJ Berwin trainees. The MBA course is expected to be more widely available in coming years and other courses are likely to be taught there in future – it is understood that the school has authorisation for up to 300 LPC students.

That’ll please the too-many-law-grads crowd.
