Collaborative Educational Partnerships are established with institutions who deliver BGU approved degree programmes locally and more widely across England. These partnerships enable BGU and its UK partner institutions to enrich the local HE provision, extend the geographical reach of the university, and enable a diverse range of students to achieve a BGU-validated qualification.

Depending on their course and location, many students at BGU's UK partner institutions later progress onto higher-level programmes, which might be delivered either at BGU, or within their own institutions

BGU’s current (2024/25) register of collaborative partnerships includes:

FdA Professional Practice Special Educational Needs

FdA Health and Social Care Practitioner

FdA Education in Practice

FdA Early Childhood Education in Practice

All of the above have designated progression routes at BGU. These enable direct entry to the final year of a full degree, or a stand-alone ‘top-up’ year with the option of distance/blended learning in some subjects.
