Program overview
A one year Certificate of Higher Education in business management, covering introductory organisational behaviour, marketing principles, operations, business communication and an introduction to financial reporting for managers.
Two things to weigh. The entry bar is 45 percent, the lowest in this catalogue, and the fee is GBP 19,500, exactly what a full honours degree costs here.
Certificate of Higher Education - Business Management is taught at London Metropolitan University, a public university in the capital with full degree awarding powers. The credential is the thing to examine. A Certificate of Higher Education sits below degree level entirely, and Britain grants post-study work to degree holders rather than to certificate holders. The business management certificate may support no onward work rights whatever, while costing what a full degree costs. Establish the position in writing, along with how many credits would transfer, before paying a deposit.
The academic bar for Certificate of Higher Education - Business Management is a recognised Grade 12 or equivalent school qualification with 45 percent. The English requirement is IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the business management certificate is recorded at GBP 19,500. London Met charges no application fee, and London Met charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the business management certificate . The business management certificate lists two entry windows, the earliest in 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the business management certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this course.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 72 with reading 18, writing 17, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 59 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 105, which London Met does accept.
- Application and deposit: London Met charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: The India Bright Futures Scholarship of GBP 5,000 does NOT apply to postgraduate certificates, postgraduate diplomas, pre-masters, foundation or short courses. Budget the full fee for this course, and ask the university directly whether any other award is open to you.
- Additional requirement: Confirm both the Graduate Route position and the credit transfer arrangements in writing before paying any deposit. London living costs and the UKVI maintenance requirement are both higher than for study elsewhere in Britain. Budget for the London figure rather than the national one.
- Work rights: the business management certificate awards a Certificate of Higher Education, which is NOT a degree. UK post-study work rights generally require a degree, so this course may carry none. Confirm with the university and UKVI in writing.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.

Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Business Administrator: commercial settings
- Office Coordinator: corporate teams
- Sales Support: business functions
- Further Study: progression to a related degree
- Operations Assistant: commercial organisations
- Team Leader: after experience
Reality check: ask in writing how many credits transfer toward a degree, because a certificate that grants entry to the second year of a related course has a clear purpose while one that does not leaves you a year and the full fee down.
