How to apply:
Thank you for choosing UK Business College. We aim to make our application process as quick and easy to use as possible.
We are currently taking admissions to the two-year Pearson Level 5 HND in Business.
If you are interested in studying one of our courses at UK Business College, you would first be required to complete the UKBC enquiry form which is available at https://online.ukbc.ac
Once you have completed the form, you can either book an appointment also known as assessment day directly from your account, contact us by phone or wait for us to contact you.
An assessment day will be offered to every applicant who applies to study at UK Business College. The assessment day is a really exciting occasion since it will give you a chance to learn more about the variety of courses we offer, get to know our academic and support staff, ask current students questions about their experiences at UKBC, and take a tour of the campus.
The assessment day’s goal is to equip you with all the knowledge you need to begin your UKBC application. The admissions staff will analyse your supporting papers and prior credentials on the assessment day to determine whether you are eligible to register in the programme.
For applicants between the ages of 18 and 21, you must possess a relevant Level 3 qualification in your field.
Mature applicants over the age of 21 without formal education must show that their earlier experiences are relevant to the course they have chosen.
Upon arrival to the assessment day, applicants would be required to provide the following documents:
- Valid identification
- Proof of address
- Evidence of previous academic qualifications; where required, these will be crosschecked against relevant databases, or NARIC;
- A Personal Statement
- Supporting funding documents
The admissions team will be on hand to address any of your questions and lead you through the admissions process during the assessment day.
