This QAA-recognised Access to Higher Education Diploma in Business is a Level 3 qualification for adults who want a university place in business, management, accounting, economics or marketing but do not hold A-Levels. It is studied entirely online with no exams, carries 60 credits, and covers the core ground a business degree is built on: how organisations are structured and planned, the basics of micro and macroeconomics, accounting and finance, marketing and people management, alongside the academic study skills universities expect. You are taught and supported by a subject-specialist tutor throughout, and on completion you hold a nationally recognised qualification accepted by universities across the UK.
