Now's the time to start your degree, what with the government recently announcing more increases in tuition fees from next year. The increase will be combined with a freeze on student loans and grants making even tougher for undergraduates and their families to fund degree studies.
Our survey revealed that even if you start this year then your three year degree programme is liable to cost you almost £10,000
University Funding Arrangements
Our survey of universities in the London area showed that most
Home and EU undergraduates will be paying nearly £10,000 in total for a three academic year programme.
But, here's the good news...
Save around £1,800 on fees at Greenwich School of Management!
Our tuition fees for Home
and EU students amount to £8,200 for our 2 year programme.
Save time - Turn 3 years into 2
And what's more, our three academic year Bachelor degree
programmes can be completed in two calendar years.
We call it the 3-into-2 degree programme.
Most universities close down during the summer - so students
have a four month break between June and October when the
next academic year starts. At Greenwich School of Management
we have an extra summer term – so you continue your studies
through the summer. This means that you can complete three
academic years in 24 months, and finish a whole year before
students at other universities. So, you're out in the job market,
earning, money a whole lot quicker. Or, if you are looking to progress to a Master's degree, you
could complete that and your Bachelor degree in the same time
it takes your contempories to finish their Bachelor degree.
£26,000 better off
Take a look at the chart below. The latest figures show that the average starting salary for
graduates is over £24,500* which when combined with a saving of nearly £1,500 in tuition fees could give you up to £26,000 worth of reasons to choose Greenwich School of
Management.
Our research is backed up by a recent independent study funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, which confirmed not only the financial benefits of 2 year degrees but also found that "fast-track degree" students outperformed those on three-year degrees "by an average of two thirds of a degree classification".

International Students
Our Non-EU tuition fees are significantly lower than other
universities'. Our two year degree programme could save you up
to £8,000 in tuition fees; and a whole year's living expenses:
typically around £10,000. In addition, you could be out in the
world of work, and earning, 12 months earlier than your
contemporaries. Those seeking to complete both a Bachelor's
and a Master's degree whilst studying in the UK will gain
significantly as a result of these benefits. It could take just 3
calendar years to achieve both a BSc(Hons) degree and a
Master's degree.
