Completion of our OTHM qualification will meet the university’s standard academic entry requirements. However, each applicant will be subject to individual assessment and other university entry requirements which may affect university entry. Students will need to apply for the same individually by themselves and MIBD will not be approving the entry as it will be done by the university admission team.

The following progression arrangements have been confirmed by each university. As OTHM qualifications are approved and regulated by Ofqual (Office of the Qualifications and Examinations Regulation), learners are also eligible to progress to a top-up degree in UK and overseas with advanced standing upon completing and receiving the certificate.
