TRIMESTER-BASED ACADEMIC YEAR

The EduVisa College Centre for Accelerated MBA Studies, forms part of the EduVisa University College School Network (See Faculty & Subjects).

The Centre for Accelerated MBA Studies, in collaboration with the EduVisa Ofqual-accredited Online Business School, has been established to provide a fast-track, affordable and accredited UK) Master of Business Administration (MBA) Degree based on the UK-Ofqual Qualification Framework that allows vocational studies to be combined with an esteemed UK MBA Degree.

EduVisa University College, line with our Ofqual-directed academic outcomes, follows a Trimester-based curriculum approach which allows for an academic year to be completed within an active study period of two trimesters (8 months) instead of the traditional and outdated two-semester system (12 months) which forces the student to sit out a 12-month calendar year before being allowed to progress to a next academic level.   

This approach, supported by many leading international universities and business schools, as well as by Ofqual, enables the student to immediately progress to the next academic level (year) as soon as the current level (eg. L4Dip.Man, L5Dip.Man, L7Dip.Man etc) has been completed. This potentially shortens the total MBA Degree Programme (L4Dip.Man + L5HDip.Man + L6GDip.Man + L7PGDip.Man + MBA Top-Up to between 30 and 38 months (depending on the progress of the student).
