Academic Underpinnings

All of the tuition programmes offered by Kaplan Business School (KBS) are designed to prepare students to sit the exams for degree courses offered by the University of London International Programmes.

These degree courses are developed by the constituent colleges of the University of London. This means that students at Kaplan Business School are studying degrees developed by the London School of Economics (LSE) or Laws Consortium. This development includes Input in to the degree structure, module content, course materials and importantly, the assessment.

As the University of London International Programmes itself notes on its website (November 2010) ‘The University of London degree awarded to a student who studied with the University of London International Programmes is of the same standard as a University of London degree awarded to students who study on campus of a University of London College’.

The University of London International Programmes is not, therefore, a soft or second class option. More it is an opportunity for students to engage in flexible and alternative study routes to achieving academic excellence. Given the academic calibre of the colleges that make up the University of London, this means that students attending KBS for tuition are expected to reach a high academic standard and the level of tuition and resource provision reflects this, from provision of a personal laptop, through to generous contact hours and small class sizes.
