Online degree FAQs

What are the entry requirements for your online business programmes?

To be eligible for our online degrees, you should hold a second-class honours degree from a recognised university. However, we also encourage non-graduates with appropriate professional qualifications and those with third-class honours degrees to apply. 

Non-native English speakers must demonstrate a minimum standard of English language proficiency through a valid English language qualification that is no older than two years from the date of issue.

​

Is work experience required to be eligible for your online business programmes?

Our programmes are designed around early professionals or those looking to make career transitions, thus, we don’t require you to have previous work experience to be eligible to apply.

​

How are online business students assessed? 

Learning assessments vary by programme module, so we encourage you to refer to programme-specific syllabi. However, you can expect a variety of individual and group, including written assignments, presentations, video podcasts, case studies, and online multiple-choice questions, in addition to a final capstone project.

​

How are online learning modules delivered?

For each of our online business degrees, learning modules are administered through our innovative virtual learning platform. There you’ll participate in live sessions and discussions, complete assignments, watch interactive videos, and more. You’ll find it easy to use and accessible wherever you are in the world.

​

What does the dissertation and/or consultancy project look like?

To gain more real-world experience and to apply to knowledge you learned in other modules, each of our online business degrees requires you to complete a capstone project in the form of a dissertation or consultancy project. The dissertation is an applied research project, whereas the consultancy project is an in-depth study of a specific organisational issue or problem in your degree’s respective field(s).
