Methodology

Fees
The tuition fee is GBP 9,535. The exchange rate is set by CSN on the first banking day of the year and determines the fee in SEK for the entire study period. This exchange rate applies regardless of whether the studies are funded through CSN’s tuition fee loan or privately.
The fee includes all teaching and supervision. The cost of course literature is not included.
Funding
The programme is delivered online and you are registered as a student at Coventry University’s international campus in Wrocław, Poland, which means the Top-up degree is classified as EU studies abroad. It therefore qualifies for student finance from CSN, including the tuition fee loan. More information is available on CSN’s website.
You may also finance your studies independently or through your employer.
Degree
This Top-up degree leads to a university qualification from Coventry University: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in International Business Management.
In combination with your previous YH studies, the qualification is assessed by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR) as equivalent to a bachelor’s degree from a Swedish university.
