ABE
Based in London, ABE is a membership-awarding body, which offers a qualification that is accredited by the Qualifications & Curriculum Authority (QCA) of the UK government and is the qualification of choice for potential employers and hopeful business professionals worldwide. The course format, is such that it grooms students for a career in business management or acts as an advanced entry level qualification towards a university degree, in the UK and many other countries.
Students who successfully complete the course are inducted as professional members of the Association of Business Executives,(ABE) UK, which makes them eligible to sit for degree finals in many universities, both locally and internationally.
BBA -Top up Degree
Furthermore, Oxford College now conducts a "Top-Up" degree programme, in association with the Herriot Watt University, which is available to all students at the Advanced Diploma stage of the ABE. |
