Still wondering?
What people in hospitality and travel ask us.
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 (Tourism) 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.
When can I start?
Start dates run through the year, so you can begin after the season. Ask us for the next one.
