All academic Mortha Halls of Ivy courses carry national recognition of OFQUAL, the UK regulatory body for Higher Education.
Graduating Mortha Halls of Ivy students can progress to a University program, either to join at Undergraduate entry-level, usually on completion of Level 3, or onto a “top-up” Degree, depending on the level of their OFQUAL program. These level equivalents can be viewed on our ‘Study Levels Explained‘ page.
Top-up degrees are for those who already hold a nationally recognized Certificate or Diploma of an appropriate level and are looking to complete their qualification to a full Degree. For Level 3 programs students can apply for Undergraduate entry for a full three-year program. Level 4 requires final 2 years completion. At Level 5 it is the final year, Level 6 will give entry to post graduate programmes and Level 7 gives exemptions from certain Masters programmes including MBA.
Top-up courses require you to have a diploma qualification in a relevant subject; this means that the course of study should be closely tied to your previous qualification. However, it does not have to be the same subject. This flexibility allows our students to have a wide range of career or completion prospects upon graduation.
All of the academic courses offered by Mortha Halls of Ivy are Ofqual approved and universities will generally accept the credits awarded to students. Students should make it clear to the University that the qualification is Ofqual RFQ validated at the stated level/credit value. Mortha Halls of Ivy can provide students with the requisite Ofqual documentation and transcript if required. Alternatively, students can visit theOFQUAL website to confirm the qualification. Each University will consider an application on its merits subject to their own specific entry requirements.
On completion of an Mortha Halls of Ivy course, students have the following options available to them.
1. Top up with an Mortha Halls of Ivy pre-agreement.
Mortha Halls of Ivy works closely with a range of top UK universities, offering multiple progression routes to students. We can negotiate lower tuition fees and provide application assistance for entry to several UK and international universities. ATHE and LRN, our OFQUAL partners, have direct articulation arrangements with several Universities that give full recognition for entry (Click here to see ATHE progression routes). Mortha Halls of Ivy has some prior approval University partners. To view specific University Top-up options via Mortha Halls of Ivy, click here to choose a course, then click on ‘University Top up’.
However, students have a range of options in addition to Mortha Halls of Ivy or ATHE agreements.
3. Study FULL TIME on Campus.
Most Universities will accept OFQUAL credits for advanced entry and therefore students can choose their University to study full time for a shorter period. It should be understood by students that these are general guidelines and students should always check the requirements with their preferred University or their local University Agent if they intend to make an application.
3. Study PART TIME on Campus.
Many Universities operate part time/evening provision and students should check possibilities with their preferred Universities first.
4. Study by DISTANCE LEARNING for top up programmes.
Many UK Universities run off-campus distance learning programs and Mortha Halls of Ivy will always seek direct arrangements with these universities to accept our students. Current university progression arrangements can be viewed on the specific course pages, under ‘University top-up’. Students may choose to apply directly to a UK University not linked to ATHE or Mortha Halls of Ivy. Several Universities operate distance learning Business programs and students can apply directly for credits or other forms of advanced entry.
5. Study with UK Universities BASED OVERSEAS.
Some UK Universities operate overseas Campuses and may accept local students on their programs with advanced entry. For example, UK Universities have campuses in Dubai, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong. Students should check locally for these arrangements.
6. Study with NON UK UNIVERSITIES
Students may want to study at Institutions nearer their home country or qualifications outside of the UK. For example, many Australian Universities offer distance learning and will recognize equivalent UK qualifications on a case by case basis.USA and Canadian Universities will also, generally, accept UK qualification equivalence.
7. Study for an AMBA MBA
The Association of MBAs is a membership organization that provides accreditation and upholds the highest international standards of MBA programs. Many UK Universities are Members and offer distance learning study. Although credits cannot be given, admission can be gained via the Mortha Halls of Ivy Level 6 or 7 plus the requisite additional entry requirements of your chosen University. Students should check the regulations of their chosen University first.
