Our level 6 course awards 120 credits, and students receive 120 credits on completion of the OBS level 7 programme, leading to an MBA completion.
These credits are mapped against the Ofqual qualification framework and therefore accepted as a guarantee of standards by UK universities.
In practical terms, progression will allow: Level 4 students will get an exemption from year 1 and level 5 students will get an exemption from year 2 of an Undergraduate course at many UK universities. A Student with a level 6 qualification will be eligible for entry onto an MBA or other postgraduate management programmes. Level 7 students gain exemptions on certain MBA programmes up to the final module and dissertation
Students can top up their studies either by distance learning or on campus directly with the University of their choice
As the qualifications are Ofqual approved they will be accepted by most UK universities as credits or progression to their Campus programmes. In addition OBS have several progression routes that can be followed by Distance Learning, including but limited to:
• Northampton University
• Cardiff Metropolitan University
• Anglia Ruskin University
• University of Sunderland
• Buckinghamshire New University
• University of Nicosia Cyprus
• University of Lincoln
