Students who have completed an EduVisa GSM Diploma in Management (L4Dip.Man) (UK-Ofqual RQF) or Higher Diploma in Management (L5HDip.Man) (UK-Ofqual RQF) can apply via their national accreditation authority (ENQA, SAQA etc) for qualification certification (transfer of credits) in order to proceed with further studies at a university in a country outside the United Kingdom.  Similarly, students who have completed a Master's in Business Administration (iMBA) Degree via EduVisa/Arden University or alternative government-accredited university, can continue their doctoral studies at any other university institution. Although universities in principle accept a government-regulated accredited qualification (UK Ofqual-accredited L4 Diploma, L5 Higher Diploma or L7 Post-Graduate Diploma) or proof of grades from another university, registration of the student may still be subject to approval at Faculty or Departmental level and/or acceptance of the MBA thesis/dissertation proposal. It is a customary practice that the university to which the student wishes to transfer may require the completion of additional modules to align the student with its own curriculum. This is a result of underlying differences or variations in curriculums followed by different universities or business schools. 

Most universities have an international student or central admissions office which will assist students with the evaluation of qualifications for admission purposes.

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Degree prepares students with the practical skills and academic knowledge base that are essential for meaningful business and managerial careers. Working managers and emerging professionals will earn the degree that is the recognized workplace standard for leadership and management, and the competencies to survive and thrive in today’s complex and uncertain business or organizational settings. Students will learn to deliver value by using business intelligence and analysis to make decisions, implementing projects through collaboration and teamwork, and exercising leadership to create change. An MBA degree from an accredited university or business school remains a key requirement for the individual who wishes to pursue a management and leadership position in the world of corporate business, the government sector or small business development. 

Students who have completed the EduVisa Post-Graduate Diploma (L7PGDip.Man) as part of the EduVisa GSM Integrated Master's of Business Administration (iMBA) Degree Programme and who apply for admission for the Arden University MBA Top-Up Programme via the EduVisa / Arden Admission Office will automatically be assisted with UK Student Visa applications when requested. Students who wish to visit the UK for study purposes can apply for a Short-Term Study Visa or alternatively for a Full Study Visa.
