Entry Requirements
The minimum age for registration for this programme is 18. The Institute operates an ‘Open Entry’ policy in respect of many of its vocational programmes but prospective students should note that the following entrance qualifications are recommended for those wishing to undertake this programme:
· The ICM Diploma in Business Studies (or an equivalent level business studies qualification)
· A suitable BTEC National Award
· Any business studies qualification equivalent to one of the above.
Applicants over the age of 21 who do not hold one of the recommended entrance qualifications may also register for the programme providing they have been in full-time employment for a minimum
Progression Route in the UK
The Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Business Studies are recognized by Universities and other professional examining bodies for subject and level exemption purposes.
Completing these qualifications at Grafton College with a minimum grade C will allow you to apply for direct entry into the final year of BA (Hons) Business Management programme at Bucks New University in the UK.
Apart from the benefit of direct entry onto the programme, the students will benefit from a thrifty way of gaining a degree. Moreover, the graduate will hold separate qualifications that can be used independently as well as in conjunction for better employment or further study opportunities.
