About the course

The undergraduate level 4 (diploma in sales and marketing) and level 5 (diploma in business management) are a 240 credit course designed to fast track students to the final year of an associated undergraduate degree in sales and marketing, which can either be completed at a UK university on campus or via distance learning.

The level 4 modules and assignments of this course are equivalent to the first year of a university degree, and the level 5 modules and assignments are equivalent to the second year of a university degree.

This course is made up of 10 level 4 modules (120 credits) and 10 level 5 modules (120 credits). If a student decides to only study at level 4 they will receive 120 credits and can apply for an exemption from the first year of a university degree course.

Each module consists of approximately 40 guided learning hours of material with an additional 30-50 hours of optional learning material. These materials comprise recommended exercises, recommended readings and internet resources.
