School degrees have international accreditation from AACSB, which is held by fewer
than 5% of business programmes worldwide.
The professional accreditations mentioned above give you significant exemptions
from essential professional exams. So that offers you a faster route to professional
qualifications, because you graduate already part-qualified – and you could start on
a higher salary.
We’re always looking to improve our courses. Which means we do review our modules from time to time,
to make sure they’re of a high standard and are relevant to you and to your potential future employers.
The information in this guide is correct at the time of going to print, but some of the modules could change
before 2021. Please contact our admissions team if you do have any questions or for further information on
