OVERVIEW

The MBA top-up programme aims to help students, who already have a good foundation in studying business at postgraduate level, progress to a full MBA qualification by developing their understanding over the course of two research-based modules.

ACCREDITATION OF PRIOR LEARNING

In order to assess the eligibility of an applicant for a top-up degree we ask for the inclusion of all relevant documents with the application. Credits may be awarded based on previous academic performance in equivalent subject areas or alternatively applicable knowledge gained through prior work experience. Final decisions on admission for top-up degrees and the awarding of credits are made by the degree awarding body, in line with the Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) procedure. When considering the relevance of previous experience we advise applicants to try to match their experience to the learning outcomes of the degree curriculum, a copy of which can be obtained on request from the Admission Office.
