Semesters

The accelerated learning model enables students to complete their Business Management Degree in the shortest time possible. Many undergraduate and postgraduate programs have started to opt for this model. Colleges deliver the ABE program using the accelerated learning model of 3 semesters per year. Each semester will run for a period of 3 months. In this way, students will be able to complete a level in as little as 6 months (i.e., 2 semesters). If you wish to progress at a slower pace, the flexible semester system allows students to study one unit at a time and complete a level over a duration of 18 months.

In Semester A, tuition is provided for the assignment units. While in Semester B, tuition is provided for examination units. In Semester C, tuition is provided for both assignments and examination units. This efficient structure gives students a choice to start in any semester (A, B, or C) and completes the course in the next semester, thereby finishing the course within 2 semesters.
