City Business College is fully accredited by the British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education (BAC).
Step 1 - Acceptance for a course
- In order to be accepted for a particular study programme offered by City Business College you must first answer the following questions:
- Do you have qualifications and certificates that will be accepted for studies in the UK?
(Students must have a minimum of 4 GCSEs and/or 'O' levels or equivalent as a general entry qualification). Overseas students with first degrees and work experience will be given preference.
- Assuming you are suitably qualified for acceptance on a course, do you have sufficient funds (and/or a suitable sponsor) for College fees and living expenses for the duration of your studies?
- Have you completed your application form correctly? Students must enclose:
- Two passport photographs.
- Attested photocopies of qualifications /certificates.
- Sponsor's letter.
- Minimum Deposit (see current fees list), - payable to "City Business College".
- Payment of fees. Overseas students are advised to pre-pay ONE FULL YEAR'S TUITION FEES several months prior to the commencement of the course. This allows sufficient time for correspondence with the College and also for your visa interview. British students may locally confirm course places with the payment of a course deposit.
- Overseas applications made less than six weeks before the start date will be automatically transferred to the next starting date.
- Please send the completed application form, together with the fees, by registered post to City Business College, 178 Goswell Road, London EC1V 7DT.
- OVERSEAS STUDENTS - If applying from overseas the payment of your fees can be made by International Money Order or by cheque drawn on a London bank and in GBP (sterling).
