About The Course
The Undergraduate Level 4/5 Extended Diploma in Management is a 240-credit programme designed to accelerate students’ progress to the last year of a related Undergraduate degree in Business and Management. This degree can be pursued either on campus or through distance learning at a university in the United Kingdom.
This course’s Level-4 modules and assignments are equivalent to the coursework completed in the first year of a University Degree. The Level-5 modules and assignments are comparable to a second-year university degree.
This course consists of 10 Level-4 modules, totalling 120 credits, and 10 Level-5 modules, totalling 120 credits. Each module requires the completion of eight written tasks.
