Graduate a full year earlier — without cutting corners
The Accelerated route covers the same curriculum, earns the same degree — but you complete it in two years instead of three.
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: Bloomsbury Institute London is currently recruiting UK students and applicants who already have the right to study in the UK, including those eligible for Student Finance England. We are not currently able to sponsor Student visas. Current students with a visa question should contact visa.compliance@bil.ac.uk.
"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."
