Why a British Bachelor’s degree with Honours?

 

A British Bachelor’s Honours degree is one of the most widely established and recognised degrees worldwide. UK degree standards are incredibly high, and year after year, they are tested for how well they are meeting modern challenges. Quality Assurance Agency UK safeguard standards and improve the quality of UK higher education wherever it is delivered around the world and check that students get the higher education they are entitled to expect.

 

Buckinghamshire New University is registered with the Office for Students (OfS), which is the independent regulator of higher education in England. It aims to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers.

 

A Bachelor’s degree with Honours means that the qualification is equal to any other academic degree programme awarded, while an ordinary BA degree without honours does not carry the same academic weighting or credibility.

 

Although it is a financial investment, a Bachelor’s degree with Honours still pays off in the long run. According to the latest official statistics in the UK, graduates last year earned a median salary of £34,000, while non-graduates earned only £24,000.

 

Amsterdam Fashion Academy graduates leave the Academy well prepared for a wide variety of fashion jobs. Depending on your personal preference, you may decide to become a designer (fashion, knitwear, pattern, accessories or textile), marketing expert, fashion journalist, buyer, merchandiser, stylist, store manager or trend forecaster. You have the right credentials to be employed by a prestigious fashion house. You could of course go it on your own and start your own fashion label. The choice is yours.
