Associate Degree in Business Management

Presentation: Associate Degree in Business Management

We provide a flexible, low cost route for learners who have already achieved management qualifications at a lower level and for learners who do not have management qualifications, but may have qualifications in other areas and/or prior experience in the work place.
 
The Associate Degree in Business Management is a 240 credit size qualification (UK), equivalent in size to the first two years of a bachelor's degree.
 
This Programme can be studied as both a standalone program, or as an extension to the Level 4 Diploma in Management.
 
At level 5, learners are expected to understand the more strategic aspects of business administration as well as governance structure and organisational context.
