Oxford Business College
9 Month Masters Qualifying Programme (MQP)

Many international students have the maturity and ability to complete a Master’s qualification but do not have the required degree for entry onto this level of qualification.

Oxford Business College is has been placing students on Masters Programmes for over 20 years and has thus built up a close relationship with many of the top Universities.

The MQP course will not only strengthen a student’s academic qualifications and help them to perfect their English but it will also give them entry onto an MBA or Masters (MA or MSc) programme, without the necessary honour’s degree.

Dependant on their ability and background students will usually spend 9 months studying the MQP at the Oxford Business College, followed by a further year at a UK University in order to complete a Masters course.  In other words, in less than 2 years, from starting the MQP, a student can complete an MBA or Business Masters Course at a UK University.

Students can elect to remain at the Oxford Business College and enter either our own MBA programme or the University of Sunderland’s MBA course
