“Top-Up” Your Degree in The UK
What is a top-up degree?
A Top-up degree is the equivalent of the final year of undergraduate study, and it usually takes one year to complete. This course allows you to achieve a full Bachelor’s level qualification and graduate with a BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons). As the name suggests, these courses enable you to ‘top-up’ an existing qualification, for example, Qualifi Level 5 Diploma.
There are several benefits in topping up your current qualification to an Honours degree. Firstly, it will help you demonstrate to an employer that you have the academic, organisational and management skills required for your chosen career path, and secondly, it may also open up further opportunities available to you in the future.
Many graduates taking this route of a top-up degree eventually decide to spend another year in the UK to pursue a Master’s degree in higher ranked universities.
Subject areas suitable for one year Top-Up are:
- Art and Design
- Information Technology
- Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy
- Hospitality, Tourism and Events Management
- Business, Economics and Management
- Building Services Engineering
