Graduate a full year earlier — without cutting corners
The Accelerated route covers the same curriculum, earns the same CMI-accredited degree, and leads to the same Chartered Manager eligibility — but you complete it in two years by studying across three terms per year instead of two.
This route is designed for focused, motivated students who want to enter the workforce or progress to postgraduate study sooner. You'll study the same modules as the 3-Year cohort, just at a faster pace.
Important: The Accelerated route is available to UK/Home students only. International students should apply for the standard 3-Year route.
"The accelerated route was perfect for me — I could see the finish line from the start, and the smaller cohort meant we pushed each other forward. I graduated a year ahead of my friends at other universities."
