Advanced Diploma holders can also fast track to the final year of many Bachelors degree programmes. Advanced Diploma holders with relevant work experience can fast track directly to a Master's Degree at a selection of universities.

Generally, to pass out as a graduate a student has to first pass the GCE O/L examination, then the A/L and spend another three to four years in a government university. But under an innovative education system introduced by Oxford College, a student who has passed the O/L exam can aspire to become a Business Administration Degree holder within three years.

Initially students have to successfully complete the ABE Certificate Level and the ABE -Diploma level stage 1 course and then move on to the Diploma stage1 and next to the Advanced Diploma course.
This whole process can be completed within a relatively short duration of one and a half years.
Students who successfully complete phase 3 become professional members of the Association of Business Executives, United Kingdom. Thereby, they acquire the required qualification to sit the degree finals in many universities either in Sri Lanka or overseas.
