Course Overview

Your first step toward a successful business management degree.

Equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate University degree, this Level 4 course allows the learner to progress directly to the 2nd year of a UK BA/BSc course, whilst saving thousands of pounds on first year course fees and benefiting from ABC London’s small class sizes and expert tutoring.

This course focuses on key aspects of business, finance, and communications, in the interest of nurturing management and leadership skills. As well as equipping the learner with key technical knowledge of finance and research, the course introduces the crucial soft skills required by anyone hoping to move into a leading career in private or public sector business management.

We carefully select course tutors who not only have accredited teaching qualifications, but who have leading practical experience in the field of business and entrepreneurship, at a management or executive level.

We are proud of our students’ success: since the programme’s launch in 2020, over 90% of graduates have received offers from Russell Group UK universities in business-related fields.
