Overview
Pearson BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Business is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a Approx 12-24 Months (720 guided learning hours) foundation course, the year before an undergraduate degree begins.
Teaching in Business Management covers finance, marketing, operations and people management before you pick a specialism, which suits applicants who have not settled on one yet.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 5.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £6,950 a year.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
