GENERIC BUSINESS MANAGEMENT CURRICULUM 

The EduVisa Centre for Accelerated MBA Studies follows an integrated generic curriculum certified by UniQual that corresponds with and is mapped against the key curriculum components prescribed by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (UK) (Ofqual). This ensures that the EduVisa Business Studies Curriculum is mapped and validated against the curriculum components of government-regulated universities and business schools in the UK, Europe and the USA as well as that of a broad spectrum of international Qualification Frameworks (e.g. EQF, SAQA, SCQF etc) created by countries and geopolitical organisations (e.g. EU) to regulate the higher education environment. Successful completion of the EduVisa GSM (UniQual/Ofqual) Integrated Bachelor Master's of Business Administration (iMBA) Degree Curriculum (L4Dip.Man, L5HDip.Man, L6GDip.Man and L7PGDip.Man) confirms that the student has studied and passed the prescribed assessment requirement to be considered for university progression (BBA-Hons or MBA/M.Sc.) at a broad spectrum of international universities or business schools. 

CURRICULUM-BASED MODULES  
EDUVISA Graduate School of Management utilises a pedagogic-inspired Modular Academic System that allows the candidate to complete each academic year (for example, Bachelor 1st Year) in his/her own time. Each programme consists of curriculum-prescribed modules that make up the specific course/qualification and that determine the merit weight of the specific course for accreditation purposes. Each module is assessed with a Formative Assessment (IQF) (Formative Theory) followed by a Summative Assessment (RQF) (Applied Theory). Successful completion of the specific module test (automatically allows the candidate to immediately progress to the next module. The number of modules prescribed per academic year (programme) is determined by the UniQual/Ofqual qualification requirement and varies between 6 and 12 modules (which may divided into separate units) depending on the weight of each module. To accommodate the curriculum requirements of qualification frameworks outside the United Kingdom (Ofqual) such as the EQF, NQF, SQF and SAQA candidates are expected to complete additional country/region-specific Capita Selecta modules (UniQual) in addition to the standard UK-Ofqual curriculum. 
TRANSFER OF CREDITS TO ANOTHER UNIVERSITY 
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.

STUDENT VISAS  
Students who wish to complete the Bachelor in Business Honours 3rd Year (BBA-Hons Year) or Master's in Business Administration (MBA Top-Up) (Research Thesis/Dissertation) qualify to apply for a UK Student Visa in order to pursue campus attendance in the United Kingdom. Most universities have established an "International Office" which can be contacted to assist with the student visa application process.
