Progression Options
On completion of a Business Management and Leadership Business School course, students have the following options available to them:-
- Top-Up with a BMLBS Pre-Agreement
- BMLBS works in close collaboration with a range of top UK Universities, offering multiple progression routes to students.
- BMLBS negotiates lower tuition fees and provides application assistance for entry to a number of UK and International Universities.
- BMLBS has some prior approval University Partners (Refer to our Courses Section for University Pathways/Top-Ups)
However, students have a range of options in addition to Business Management and Leadership Business School agreements
- Study FULL TIME on campus in the UK for top-up courses or direct entry to university.
- Most Universities will accept OFQUAL credits for advanced entry and therefore students can choose their own University to study full time for a shorter period. (Click here to find a University).
Students are advised to check requirements with their preferred University or local University Agent if they intend to make an application.
- Study PART TIME on Campus.
- Many Universities operate part time/evening provision.
- Students are advised to check possibilities with their preferred Universities first.
- Study by DISTANCE LEARNING for Top-up Programmes.
- BMLBS seeks direct arrangements with UK Universities running off campus distance learning programmes, to accept its students.
- Current university progression arrangements can be viewed on the specific course pages, under ‘University Top-Up’.
- Students may choose to apply directly to a UK University not linked to BMLBS.
- Several Universities operate Distance Learning Business Programmes and students can apply directly for credits or other forms of advanced entry.
- Study with UK Universities BASED OVERSEAS.
- Some UK Universities operate overseas Campuses and may accept local students on their programmes with advanced entry –
- For example some UK Universities have campuses in Dubai, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and many more.
- Students are advised to check locally for these arrangements.
- Study with NON UK UNIVERSITIES
- Students may want to study at Institutions nearer their home country or qualifications outside of UK.
- For example many Australian Universities offer distance learning and will recognise equivalent UK qualifications on a case by case basis.
- USA and Canadian Universities will also, generally, accept UK qualification equivalence.
- Study for an AMBA MBA
- The Association of MBAs is a membership organisation that provides accreditation and upholds the highest international standards of MBA programmes.
- Many UK Universities are Members and offer distance learning study.
- Although credits cannot be given, admission can be gained via the BMLBS Level 6 or 7 plus the requisite additional entry requirements of the chosen University.
- Students are advised to check the regulations of their chosen University first.
