Why choose KBS?

Our central London location

Kaplan Business School is situated right in the heart of London, on the south bank of the River Thames. We are just by London Bridge, sandwiched between Borough Market and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Our location provides you with an excellent base from which to enjoy all that London has to offer – London truly is your campus! We are also well placed near to the financial and legal districts of the City of London, where your work experience and internship opportunities will often be based.

You'll be taught by tutors that the UK's leading organisations trust

You'll get peace of mind that you'll be trained by the same tutors that some of the UK's leading organisations trust.  Kaplan UK trains more than 80% of all UK Chartered Accountants, is the exclusive provider for PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte and KPMG and trains numerous solicitors working exclusively for firms including Bird & Bird, Manches, Mayer Brown and Nabarro.

Maximise your professional exemptions

Because of our long history of training professionals, we ensure that our degree programmes on offer at KBS give you the opportunity to gain maximum exemptions from professional qualifications such as ACCA, ICAEW and CIMA. This often means that you can professionally qualify just a year after graduation from your degree.

Get ahead of the competition

With more and more students going to university, it is increasingly more vital that you make the most of your time there. By working on your CV and interview technique, gaining internship experience and by networking with professionals in industry, you’ll be better prepared for graduate life, and better equipped than the competition. Don’t forget you could also been well on the way to becoming professionally qualified too.

Small class sizes with a personal touch

Study environments at university can vary dramatically. Some institutions will have up to 500 students in a lecture, and seminars of around 20-30 students as standard. At KBS we believe in keeping things small, to help you get the most from your studies. Our biggest lecture hall holds under 100 students, and seminars rarely ever exceed 15 students. With KBS you get a personal experience where your tutors understand your individual learning needs.

A professionally focused environment

The KBS campus is very different from a campus university experience. Our facilities are based in the heart of the city, surrounded by offices rather than green fields. We offer a focused environment where students on degree programmes are able to mix with students on higher stages of professional development, such as GDL, LPC and BPTC students or professionals attending refresher courses at our premises.

Links to industry and a careers focus

Our position as one of the biggest professional training providers in the UK means that we are excellently placed in order to provide you with links to industry during your studies. We know what employers want and our bespoke careers service can help you to make your first successful steps onto the career ladder once you graduate.
