What is the INTO Diploma programme?
The Diploma programme is a fulltime academic programme, which is equivalent to studying the first year of an undergraduate degree. At INTO University of Exeter we offer a single Diploma pathway in Business Management, Accounting and Economics.
Successful completion of the Diploma programme (subject to meeting specified progression grades in academic and English language modules) enables students to enter the second year of a relevant undergraduate degree at University of Exeter’s School of Business and Economics, or to apply for entry to similar degrees at another UK university.
The Diploma programme gives students the opportunity to:
- improve their language skills in preparation for undergraduate study;
- increase their knowledge of academic theory relating to the study of business and marketing to enable advanced entry to Year 2 of an undergraduate degree;
- develop the necessary study and research skills for undergraduate study.
Why do students choose to study the INTO Diploma programme?
The Diploma in Business Management, Accounting and Economics is suitable for international students who have completed A Levels, a recognised Foundation programme or for students who are already in the first year of a relevant undergraduate degree but do not meet the English language requirements for direct entry to the University of Exeter’s School of Business and Economics.
Mature students with relevant experience and academically gifted high school graduates can also use the Diploma programme as a fast track into the second year of a UK undergraduate business degree. The January intake of the Diploma programme will also appeal to students who are unable to apply for the traditional September start date for University study.
What is special about the INTO Diploma programme?
The Diploma programme provides all students with:
- full university status;
- a quality-assured university programme;
- a campus-based programme with access to world-class facilities;
- a conditional offer of a place on the second year of a relevant degree at University of Exeter;
- flexible entry dates;
- a highly supportive study environment to enable swift progression;
- the highest levels of personal care and support.
