Still wondering?

Common questions from marketers. We answer the rest.

What does “top-up” actually mean?

The final year of a bachelor’s degree, on its own. Your Level 5 diploma counts as the first two years, so you join at year three and graduate with the full BA (Hons).

Is it a real degree?

Yes. A BA (Hons) Business Management (Marketing) from Arden University, a UK university. The award is Arden’s own, and carries no note of where the earlier years were done.

Do I need to sit exams?

No. There are no exams and no dissertation on this course. Assessment is through reports, case-study analyses, presentations and assignments.

How long does it take?

About a year of part-time study, and you have up to three years.

What if I do not have an HND or Level 5 diploma?

Arden University considers applications case by case. Significant work experience and qualifications gained elsewhere are taken into account.

Do I need an English test?

Not if your previous study was taught in English. If it was not, Arden asks for IELTS 6.0 with no element below 5.5, or an equivalent.
