All our diploma programs can be transferred and a student can get a “Top-Up” Master's or Bachelor's Degree in as little as one year and save 50% off tuition at many of our UK or USA Partner Universities.

Top-Up Degrees are for students who have completed any OEA Diploma and want to earn a higher degree at a Partner University. OEA graduates can continue onto the final year of a graduate or undergraduate degree program, typically “Topping Up” their OEA diploma or degree within one further year of study.

Yes, all our programs have British accreditation through Ofqual and recognition from over thirty international bodies and universities. (Please refer to our Accreditations page.)

Yes, you can choose to have an apostille on your qualifications. OEA’s Registrar’s Office will process the qualifications and send them to you by DHL or FedEx.

Time to completion will vary based on your schedule, but we anticipate most learners being able to finish most programs in six to nine months. Students may choose to complete some programs in as little as three months.

No specific background is required. The beauty of OEA is that anyone can study here provided they are willing to study and determined to succeed.

Yes, all our courses carry university credit, but some universities may choose to accept Specialization Certificates for credit. Check with your institution to learn more.

Courses in the audit track are accessible for twelve months, although this can be extended under extenuating circumstances.

You can transfer the credits you have earned to a university to continue your education and receive a higher degree. For instance, if you earn a Diploma in Information Technology at OEA, you can transfer the credit you earned to a British, US, or other university and study one more year and receive a Bachelor's Degree. This would save you up to seventy percent on tuition and fees. Or, if you earn one of our Graduate Diplomas, you would be able to get a Master's degree from many of our Partner Universities.

The Academy offers eleven scholarships for our Graduates to continue their studies at British universities. These scholarships are only offered to students who have completed one of our Diplomas.
