Valuing Your
Educational Journey
At Stonebridge University, we recognise that the path to higher education is rarely linear. Many ambitious professionals have completed diplomas, earned credits at other institutions, or gained significant qualifications without yet attaining a full Bachelor’s degree.
We believe that this previous hard work should never be disregarded. Our transfer and "Top-up" pathways are founded on a simple principle: you should not have to repeat what you have already mastered.
Instead, we offer you the opportunity to leverage your existing academic history to accelerate your graduation, saving both time and tuition fees while acknowledging the dedication you have already shown.
The "Top-up" Advantage
For students who hold a relevant qualification—such as a Higher National Diploma (HND) or a Foundation Degree—our Top-up programmes provide a direct route to a full undergraduate degree.
This pathway allows you to bypass the first two years of university study and enter directly into the final year (Level 6). By focusing strictly on the advanced modules required to complete your qualification, you can upgrade your existing diploma to a globally recognised British Bachelor’s Honours degree.
Accelerated Route
Strategic Recognition
Focus your energy on the finish line, not the starting blocks.
Eligibility Criteria
Our pathways are inclusive yet rigorous, designed for professionals and transfer students.
HND & Foundation Holders
Applicants possessing a Level 5 qualification (such as Pearson BTEC HND or NCC Education Diploma) can typically transfer directly into the final year of a related degree.
University Transfers
If you have completed years at another accredited university, we can map your completed credits against our curriculum to help you resume exactly where you left off.
Professional Qualifications
Holders of certifications from bodies like ACCA, CIMA, or CIM may be eligible for significant module exemptions based on the academic weight of their credentials.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
For those whose experience lies outside traditional academia, Stonebridge employs a rigorous RPL policy. We understand that senior professionals often possess knowledge that surpasses introductory modules.
If your professional portfolio demonstrates that you have already met the learning outcomes of specific modules, we can award academic credit for your experience.
A Seamless Transition Process
Transferring universities can often feel like a bureaucratic hurdle, but we have streamlined the process to be as transparent and supportive as possible. When you apply for a transfer or Top-up degree, our admissions team conducts a holistic review of your transcripts and syllabus breakdowns.
We handle the mapping of your previous credits to our degree structure, providing you with a clear roadmap of exactly which modules remain for you to complete. Our goal is to ensure a smooth academic transition, allowing you to integrate into the Stonebridge learning community quickly.
