30 December 2020
Statement from Dr Dayo Abinusawa:
“In 2018, the team at Awa Business School welcomed the Government’s challenge to provide higher education students in the UK with choice and value for money, and working tirelessly, developed an undergraduate level education programme over the past 2 years. Sadly, after receiving an unfavourable update from the regulatory body for higher education, the programme will now not be immediately available.
We do not regret our contribution to the national effort, and I am hopeful that our education programme will help meet the provision deficiencies in other countries. However, this will require further time and investigation, and additional resources.
The project has been self-funded to date. I will continue to finance this effort and have no intention of receiving public funds. The team worked tirelessly and, in certain cases, within short time frames to design and produce a high-quality curriculum for higher education provision. I am grateful for their commitment and expertise, and hope they can feel a sense of pride in playing a role to make education accessible.”

Awa Business School Diploma Fast Tracks Entry to Final Year at UK Universities
Awa Business School, a UK pioneer in flexible online learning, is delighted to announce its fast track Advanced Diploma in Business which students can complete in nine months and gain direct entry to final year at university.
The Advanced Diploma in Business is designed for those looking to accelerate their careers, whether they want to get into the workplace faster than their peers, or want a Bachelors or Masters in less than the time it traditionally takes to complete a degree.
“With an accelerated diploma program, you can be in work and further study quicker and save money on fees,” said Dr Dayo Abinusawa, Founder and Board Member of Awa Business School. “We’ve created an encouraging and supportive environment for students to accelerate their careers while gaining the knowledge and skills they need to be employable upon graduation.”
The advanced diploma course provides students with knowledge in specific business fields, like Leadership and Management, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources Management, Information Technology, Marketing, etc.
Yes, although the course is online, students will save a whole year’s tuition fees and living costs and start earning earlier. The nine month diploma at Awa Business School is a great cost effective option because even when living costs are excluded, students pay about 89% less than they would on a three year course at a university charging £9,738 per annum (i.e. £29,214 over three years) for tuition.
See below how you can save money with an accelerated diploma.
| Awa Business School Diploma Type | Tuition Fees | Living costs away from home | Total amount |

The ABS/NIHR Surgical MedTech Innovation Challenge will deliver smart surgery for tomorrow’s NHS.
London, UK – Awa Business School (ABS) and the NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative (Surgical MIC) today announced the inaugural Surgical MedTech Innovation Challenge at the 2018 NIHR National Meeting in Leeds, United Kingdom.
The Challenge seeks inspiring and cutting-edge surgical technology solutions that will benefit patients undergoing surgery. This can include technology for the early detection, prevention, and management of post-operative complications, colorectal/liver/pancreatic cancers, bowel disease, and vascular conditions.
Researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators are invited to apply for seed funding to support research and technology development. The winning candidate will receive £5,000 to translate their idea into reality, in collaboration with the NIHR Surgical MedTech Co-operative and its network to successfully prototype and demonstrate proof-of-concept.
ABS and the Surgical MIC are joining forces to support unique ideas that will transform the healthcare industry and deliver smart surgery for tomorrow’s NHS. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to pitch their ideas at the Surgical MedTech Innovation Awards taking place in London, in February 2019.
Speaking of the collaboration, Dr Dayo Abinusawa, Managing Director at Awa Business School, said: “It’s an exciting time to be innovating in the medical and surgical technology space. Awa Business School is delighted to partner with a leading institution to help build the NHS of our future. We look forward to a successful challenge that will combine our commercialisation experience with the Surgical MIC’s clinical and technological expertise.”
Vee Mapunde, Programme Manager for NIHR Healthcare Technologies Cooperative (HTC), added: “The number of surgical procedures performed each year has risen by 27% over the past decade, and this trend is set to continue as the population ages. With safer surgery being a priority area of global importance, there is a real need to improve outcomes for the most vulnerable patients undergoing surgery. The Surgical MIC supports the development of medical technologies to improve the quality of life for patients."
The application period runs from 7 November 2018 to 4 January 2019. There will be two innovation awards, and an additional applicant will receive recognition and support for being the People’s Choice.
