To ensure that many students come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a mix of experiences and perspectives, institutions have a varied entry requirement system:

  • Standard Entry: Applicants are expected to have a minimum of 4 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above, which must include both English and Mathematics.
  • For Mature Students: Institutions understand that academic qualifications don’t always showcase one’s potential. If you're returning to study after a period, your relevant work experience could be taken into account for entry.
  • Alternative Qualifications: Institutions also accept BTEC Level 3, NVQ Level 3, and other nationally recognised qualifications as a pathway to this BA course.

The teaching approach places a strong emphasis on practical learning and real-world application. Students benefit from a mix of lectures, workshops, and industry insights. Assessment methods include coursework, projects, and presentations, fostering the development of skills necessary for success in the business field. Traditional exams are not a part of this program, encouraging a more interactive and collaborative learning environment.
