Affordable British Qualifications and Global Learning
All academic UKCOLLEGEONLINE courses carry national recognition of OFQUAL, the UK regulatory body for Higher Education.
Upon graduating from UKCOLLEGEONLINE, students can progress to a university programme, at an Undergraduate entry-level, usually on completion of Level 3, or onto a “top-up” degree, depending on the level of their OFQUAL programme. These level equivalencies can be viewed on our ‘Study Levels Explained‘ page.
Top-up degrees are for those who already hold a nationally recognised Certificate or Diploma of an appropriate level and are looking to complete their qualification to a full Degree. For Level 3 programmes, students can apply to an undergraduate entry for a full three-year programme . Level 4 requires completing the final 2 years, and the final year needs completion at Level 5. Level 6 will give entry to post graduate programmes, and Level 7 gives exemptions from certain master’s programmes including MBA.
Top-up courses require you to have a diploma qualification in a relevant subject; this means that the course should be closely tied to your previous qualification. However, it does not have to be the same subject. This flexibility allows our students to have a wide range of career or completion prospects upon graduation.
All of the academic courses offered by UKCOLLEGEONLINE are Ofqual approved, and universities will generally accept the credits awarded to students. Students should clarify to the university, that the qualification is Ofqual RQF validated at the stated level/credit value. UKCOLLEGEONLINE can provide students with the requisite Ofqual documentation and transcript if required. Alternatively, students can visit the OFQUAL website to confirm the qualification. Each University will consider an application on its merits subject to their specific entry requirements.
On completion of a UKCOLLEGEONLINE course, students have the following options available to them.
1. Top up with an UKCOLLEGEONLINE pre-agreement. UKCOLLEGEONLINE works closely with a range of top UK universities, offering multiple progression routes to students. We can negotiate lower tuition fees and provide application assistance for entry to many UK and international universities. OFQUAL partners, have direct articulation arrangements with several universities which give full recognition for entry. UKCOLLEGEONLINE has some prior approval from university partners.

However, students have a range of options in addition to UKCOLLEGEONLINE agreements
2. Study FULL TIME on campus in the UK for top-up courses or direct entry to university. Most Universities will accept OFQUAL credits for advanced entry. Therefore students can choose a university to study at full-time for a shorter period. (Click here to find a University). Students should understand that these are general guidelines. They should always check the ir preferred university or their local university agent’s requirements if they intend to make an application.
3. Study PART-TIME on campus. Many Universities operate part-time/evening provision; students should check possibilities with their preferred universities first.
4. DISTANCE LEARNING for top-up programmes. Many UK Universities run off-campus distance learning programmes and UKCOLLEGEONLINE will always seek direct arrangements with these universities to accept our students. Current university progression arrangements can be viewed on the specific course pages, under ‘University top up’. Students may choose to apply directly to a UK University not linked to ATHE or UKCOLLEGEONLINE . Several Universities operate distance learning Business programmes, and students can apply directly for credits or other forms of advanced entry.
5. Study with OVERSEAS BASED UK Universities. Some UK Universities operate overseas campuses and may accept local students on their programmes with advanced entry. For example, UK Universities have campuses in Dubai, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong. Students should check for these arrangements locally .
6. Study with NON-UK UNIVERSITIES Students may want to study at Institutions nearer their home country or qualifications outside of the UK. For example many Australian Universities offer distance learning and will recognise equivalent UK qualifications on a case-by case basis.USA and Canadian Universities will also, generally, accept UK qualification equivalence.
7. Study for an AMBA MBA is a membership organisation that provides accreditation and upholds the highest international standards of MBA programmes. Many UK universities are members and offer distance learning study. Although credits cannot be given, admission can be gained via the UKCollegeOnline Level 6 or 7 plus the requisite additional entry requirements of your chosen University. Students first should check the regulations of their chosen university.
