Overview

The objective of the Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies qualification is to provide learners with an in-depth understanding of the operations and structure of businesses.

The Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies is an alternative qualification for students who do not wish to invest their time and efforts in the traditional two-year Plus 2 or A-Levels or equivalent qualification and for those who were unable to perform well in their Plus 2 or A-Levels.

We can also accept students who have been unable to perform well in their 10th/GCSE/IGCSE examinations* and therefore, have low chances of gaining admission for A-Levels or an equivalent qualification.

The Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies aims to provide learners with the foundation to serve as an entry route to UK and international university courses or the undergraduate Level 4/5 with Phoenix Graduate School.

The Level 3 qualification is most suited to individuals who are at least 16 years of age, have a high school education (10th grade), and wish to progress to a degree at a wide range of universities in the UK and other countries or the Undergraduate Level 4 or 5 with Phoenix Graduate School.

The Foundation Level 3 Diploma in Business represents practical knowledge, skills, capabilities, and competences that are assessed academically as being equivalent to GCE AS or A-Levels or Plus 2.

  • Introduction to Research and Academic Skills.
  • Using IT for Business.
  • Introduction to Economics and Accounting.
  • Introduction to the Business Environment.
  • Introduction to Customer Service.
  • Managing Business Events.
  • Introduction to Marketing.
  • Introduction to People Management.

Successful completion of the Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies qualification enables learners to enter directly into Year 1 of a three-year UK Bachelor’s degree or pursue Level 4 Diplomas. As this qualification is approved and regulated by Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulation), many universities acknowledge the abilities of learners after studying the Level 3 Diploma in Business Studies and consider them for direct entry into a range of their bachelor degree programmes.
