Accept your offer
We will contact you (usually via email) to tell you whether or not you have received an offer to study. If you applied via UCAS it's easy to track the status of your application on their website.
If you are accepted with an unconditional offer, then congratulations! You have a place and you can accept straightaway.
If you are accepted with a conditional offer, the place is yours as long as you meet a few extra requirements. This could be achieving certain exam grades or English language test scores.
For some courses, you may be asked to come for an interview before you receive your offer, either on the phone or sometimes in person. Check the course information before you apply to find out whether this is required.Arrange funding
It’s never too early to arrange funding. You may be eligible for a scholarship at Awa Business School to help with the cost of your studies.

However, you don’t need a visa to take up your study place at Awa Business School as our courses are online. Learners can study in their own country before progressing onto universities in the UK. This option can be a cost effective route to studying abroad and achieving a degree at an international Higher Education Institution.

Whether you own a PC, a laptop or a tablet, once you’re connected to the internet, you will have access to our online study portal (your virtual classroom). You’re now a step closer to gaining the skills, experience and confidence to fulfil your potential with a UK qualification.
