For students who do not live or come from an English language speaking country we recommend them to take an English language course to improve their language to an intermediate level or higher. This can be done alongside our courses. Your minimum level of English may vary depending upon which university you decide to complete your top up qualification from.

You will need to have an IELTS score of level 5.5 or above on completion of the UBA course. You can study an English course alongside with the UBA course. At Diploma or level 4/5, you will require a full secondary education to be eligible to enrol in the course and universities will require a minimum age before embarking on the university top-up programme. At Level 7 you will require 5 years of managerial experience if you do not have a BA degree. This may vary for various University partners, However, we will look at every application individually and some exceptions may be looked into.

There is no interview process. You will have to fill out a short application form to make sure you meet the criteria.

Learners should first visit the Universal Business Academy Course page to view the range of courses on offer to decide on what subjects best suit the learner, he/she should:

• Review the modules within the course, do they interest you? are they relevant to your chosen career path?
• How the course is taught and assessed, do you have the motivation to study via distance learning? are you able to work independently?

It is important that learners do not try to extend themselves too far and too quickly so should ideally choose a path that comfortably moves on from their existing level of skills and experience.

Once we have viewed your application we approve your eligibility within 10 minutes. You can then simply choose your course and enrol online, via the Universal Business Academy Learning Store. Alternatively, you can email the UBA Enrolment team on info@universalbusinessacademy.com and they will guide you through the Enrolment process.
