STUDENT FINANCE AND TIER 4 SPONSORSHIP

Student finance for UK and EU students is not available for ATHE programmes. ETC is not a Tier 4 sponsor. Student finance
should be available for the BA (Hons) top-up degree for eligible UK and EU students. This is normally up to 9,000 for
tuition fees and up to 8,000 in maintenance loans and grants. Non-EEA/EU students can study by distance learning at ETC
and then apply to the above institutions for a Tier 4 student visa. ATHE has articulation agreements with these institutions,
so students successfully completing a Level 5 Extended Diploma in Management can gain admission to one of these
institutions, subject to normal UKVI immigration and Tier 4 requirements. Non-EEA/EU students should make their own
enquiries about UKVI immigration and Tier 4 requirements.

STUDY SUPPORT

LEARNING MATERIALS
You will be supplied with electronic learning materials to download, a reading list and assignment briefs with guidance for
each assignment task. (This is included in the programme fee. You will, however, be expected to purchase your own
textbooks.)

TUTORS
You will be allocated a tutor with whom you can arrange face-to-face meetings at the Colleges premises or you can
communicate with via telephone, Skype, Tango or WebEx. (Each unit includes 2 hours one-to-one consultation with the
tutor, after which there will be a charge of 25 per hour. E-mail correspondence is included in the fee for the duration of
the programme.)

EXPECTED COMPLETION TIME

Although you can study the programmes at your own pace, the awarding organisation (i.e. ATHE) expects you to undertake
a minimum duration of study per unit in order to complete it effectively. This is 150 hours per unit. Therefore the
approximate minimum completion time for the programme (assuming study time of 40 hours a week) is as follows:
LEVEL 5 EXTENDED DIPLOMA IN MANAGEMENT (8 units)

30 weeks

Please note that these are recommended guide times only. Some students may be able to complete the programme in a
shorter period of time, while others could require more time. The average time is likely to be 9-12 months, with sustained
study.
