Frequently Asked Question and Contact Details

I don't have a Level 7 Post Graduate Diploma, am I still able to apply for the course?
Unfortunately only students holding a Level 7 Post Graduate Diploma can apply for the MBA Advanced Entry Course. Other students may apply for the full time MBA.

I already have a Masters, can I use this towards the MBA Advanced Entry?
No, only a Post Graduate Diploma can be used towards the MBA Advanced Entry.

Will 'Advanced Entry' appear on my final MBA certificate?
The MBA Advanced Entry course is designed to give candidates exactly the same experience as Full Time MBA students, therefore your certificate will be for a Cardiff Metropolitan MBA, with no reference to the method in which it was obtained.
