Bachelor of Business Administration (Level 6) (Top-up)

Am I eligible for this programme?

For this final-year Top-up pathway, applicants would normally need sufficient recognised prior higher education study to receive 120 ECTS of credit towards the 180 ECTS Bachelor of Business Administration.

• Prior study should be in business, management or a sufficiently related discipline and must be accepted by Euro American Institute through its admissions and recognition of prior learning procedures.
• Applicants must provide appropriate qualification certificates and transcripts so that prior learning and credit content can be reviewed.
• Applicants must meet the Institute's applicable English language requirements for higher education study.
• Admission to Semester 5 and Semester 6 remains subject to EAI confirming that the applicant has satisfied the prerequisite learning and credit requirements for entry to the final stage of the BBA.

The published BBA curriculum does not separately name a formal Top-up award. Entry to the final 60 ECTS therefore depends on EAI recognising sufficient prior learning towards the full 180 ECTS BBA.
