Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Business Management

The Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Business Management are two separate courses that are accredited at UK Level 4 and Level 5 respectively and are therefore equivalent to the first two years of a three-year business degree.

Therefore, on completion, students can progress to the final year of a degree course at a wide range of UK universities. Both courses can be completed in a total of fifteen months and so offer a fast-track towards a full UK undergraduate business degree.

The courses can also be taken as self-standing qualifications which will improve your knowledge and enhance your career opportunities, even if you don’t wish to continue to complete a degree.

Programme Content

In line with UK university undergraduate business degrees, both courses combine an academic perspective with a practical approach to the contemporary global business world. Emphasis is placed on evaluation and applying information and concepts to real life scenarios, increasing your employability skills and developing your ability to work both as a member of a team and independently.

On completion, of the Advanced Diploma you can progress to the final year of a business-related degree course at over 20 ATHE partner universities in the UK, Australia and Canada including Sunderland, Leeds Trinity, Ulster, Bolton, Westminster and Portsmouth.

Taught in small groups or in our Virtual Classroom, the courses offer an attractive, economical and time-saving route to a UK degree.
