Whether you have entry qualifications or professional work experience, earning a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration can help accelerate your career. If you do not have the standard entry requirements for the bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, the University of London welcomes applications via the Performance-Based Admissions route.
To qualify for Performance-Based Admissions you need a minimum of four GCSEs or a High School Diploma (or equivalent) and relevant work experience. If you gain Performance-Based entry to the degree, you’ll also need to achieve a pass (40% weighted average or higher) in one required module to remain on the course. You do not need to complete this module before you enrol, it will simply form part of your first term studying the degree.
Unsure which entry route is best for you? Simply apply via direct entry. If you don’t meet direct-entry criteria, your application will automatically be considered for Performance-Based Admission.
The programme is led by academics at Royal Holloway’s School of Business and Management. As one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities, Royal Holloway is home to some of the world’s foremost authorities in the sciences, arts, business, economics, and law.
Royal Holloway is in the top 25 percent of UK universities for research rated ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ (REF 2021). It is through their world-class research that expands minds and changes lives and the dedication of our academics, that Royal Holloway is a community that inspires individuals to succeed academically, socially, and personally.

Students can take up to two new modules each study session. In addition to this, students can resit assessments and/ or repeat modules which they have not yet passed (subject to the rules set out in the programme regulations).
