Manchester Manchester is one of the largest legal and commercial centres in the country. A staggering 65 of the FTSE 100 companies call the city their home, including such household names as Google, The Co-operative Group, Aegis and the BBC. No surprise then that it’s a thriving centre for finance, banking and law, as well as the creative and media industries. In the centre of all this is BPP University located in the historic St. James’ building on Oxford Street. Here you’ll find yourself not only in the city centre, but also in the midst of one of the largest student populations in Europe. We’re located within five minutes’ walk of Manchester’s Market Street and the Arndale shopping centre and just two minutes’ walk of Oxford Road station and a tram stop at St. Peter’s Square, while a seemingly endless line of buses come and go along one of Manchester’s most famous roads. Of course, no matter where in the world you go, mention Manchester and the first thing everyone thinks of is football. Its two teams, Manchester United and Manchester City are the pride of the city and quite rightly so - they are arguably the world’s most famous clubs. But of course, football is just one of the reasons why this city is so well known and well loved. It’s also led the UK music scene for many years as the birthplace of such bands as The Smiths, Oasis and Take That. Add to this Manchester’s world-class museums, theatres, ballet, opera, cinemas, shops, bars and restaurants, and it’s easy to see why it’s among the UK’s fastest growing cities.
