Qualification requirements

NVQ

The standard entry route for the programme will be from the SLIIT Higher National Diploma in Business Administration and successful completion of the bridging module (Research Methods). This has been suitably mapped to Levels 4 and 5 of the BA (Hons) Business Management (SIS Code 31816) for the purposes of articulation and RP(E)L. Level 6 of the BBA (Hons) is identical to the BA (Hons) Business Management (SIS Code 31816). Students at SLIIT undertake two years of studies in English as part of their Higher National Diploma studies. The achievement of a SLIIT Higher National Diploma in Business Administration is sufficient English proficiency. While SLIIT makes a decision on applications, the final decision on acceptance of any student on the programme rests with LJMU (through the Link Tutor) at registration. Link Tutor approval of applicants is at the final stage of student recruitment process, although the Link Tutor can be contacted at any stage if a discussion about a particular student is needed. In cases where RP(E)L is required, the approval of the credits is undertaken by LJMU.

Alternative qualifications considered

RP(E)L for students from other colleges will be on a case by case basis where their diploma should be equivalent to Levels 4 and 5 of the BBA. The SLIIT Programme Leader will do a mapping to determine whether the student’s qualification matches the Level learning outcomes. This mapping informs the RP(E)L approval undertaken by LJMU. As with normal admissions, the final decision rests with LJMU.

International requirements

Other international requirements

Students will be able to demonstrate efficiency in English to a standard equivalent to IELTS 6. Decisions on equivalence will be made by the relevant link tutor or programme leader within Liverpool Business School.

The university reserves the right to withdraw or make alterations to a course and facilities if necessary; this may be because such changes are deemed to be beneficial to students, are minor in nature and unlikely to impact negatively upon students or become necessary due to circumstances beyond the control of the university. Where this does happen, the university operates a policy of consultation, advice and support to all enrolled students affected by the proposed change to their course or module.
