A UK university top-up degree offers students a great time-saving option if they already have any of the following qualifications. Students may want to consider upgrading to a full Bachelor’s or Master’s degree by studying for a top-up degree at a UK university. A top-up degree is the final year (Level 6) of a Bachelor’s degree course and allows you to top up your existing qualification to a full BA or BSc degree.

Similarly, a postgraduate qualification (Level 7) can lead to an MBA or MSc degree from a UK university. The UK top-up degrees are a great study option designed to help individuals and working professionals, who already hold particular qualifications and are ready to go for the final degree level. Students can save up to 80% of tuition fees in the first 2 years as compared to UK university tuition fees.
