If you’re seeking a more affordable, quicker, and flexible way to earn a degree in business management, you’re in the right place. This blended learning programme lets you complete the first two years of university from home or in the campus once a week. After finishing, you’ll secure a spot in the third year at university. Plus, this alternative path helps you avoid accumulating significant student debt.
This approach makes it easier to pursue a career in management balancing your current responsibilities. By replacing traditional classes and rigid schedules with blended learning, you can advance at your own speed and move on to the final stage whenever you’re ready.
Amazingly Affordable Alternative Degree Programme
The latest change in student finance rules will see university graduates doubling their student loan repayments. This is in addition to repaying their student loans when they earn an annual salary of £24,990 instead of the £27,660 it was before according to www.gov.uk / repaying you student loan. With inflation and interest rates rising in the UK due to the ongoing cost of living crisis, university graduates are affected. For the 2022/23 academic year, there was a risk of student loan interest rates reaching 12%, further hitting the pockets of students.
Due to the current economic uncertainty, a university graduate could end up with an average of £43,700 of student loan debt, with tuition fees costing an average of £9,250 per year according to house of commons Library (Student Loan Statistics). According to YouGov latest report on 1st July 2024, 38% of people feel that current tuition fees are unfair, so it’s no surprise that many are looking for alternative options. Here at Londoncps, we can offer you an affordable alternative that covers the first and second year of a degree for a fraction of the cost of the traditional route.
