Start Dates

For all IUA academic programs, there are Three entry periods (each lasting 10 weeks) per year: January, July and October.

Program Schedule

This is an intensive 3-year program which consists 12 independent academic terms. Each student will take three or four courses per term, in addition to BUS 399 and the Business Plan course, for a total of 120 term credits for the entire duration.

Graduation Requirements

The BBA student must acquire a total of 120 term credits (including credits transferred from another institution) and maintain a 2.0 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) to graduate. If the student has a Grade Point Average (GPA) in one term that fall below 2.0 and, therefore, place under probation, he/she will be required to retake courses up to a maximum of 4 classes to make up for this deficiency. The student will pay a fee per extra class calculated on a pro-rata basis of the tuition paid for the full program. The student will eventually graduate if he/she achieves the 2.0 CGPA or better with the additional classes.

Application & Tution Fee

As in other programs, application fee for the AA and BBA programs is £150 for international students and £100 for local students. This application fee is mandatory and non refundable but is deducted from the full tuition fee once the student has paid the enrolment fee and started the program. The current tuition fee (which has been maintained at this level for the last 10 years) for the AA and BBA programs is £3900 per year (which may vary later) and may be paid by installment.
