UK Degree Pathway - Stars College

For local & EU students

Study in Brussels, Graduate With a UK Degree

Stars College is a recruiting partner of Brussels College, referring students into its UK Degree Pathway: study your core years in Brussels, then complete a final "top-up" year with an approved UK degree-awarding university partner — delivered fully online — to graduate with a full UK Bachelor's or Master's degree.

Brussels College teaches your core years and refers eligible students into the top-up programme; the top-up year itself is delivered and awarded directly by the UK university partner.

How the Top-Up Works

Two routes, depending on which programme you start with at Brussels College.

Bachelor's Route

Study the core years of the Bachelor in Business Management or Bachelor in Computer Science at Brussels College, then top up with a 1-year, 120-credit BSc (Hons) Business Management or BEng (Hons) Software Engineering top-up, awarded by an approved UK university partner and delivered fully online.

Master's Route

Complete the Business Management (Level 7) programme at Brussels College, then top up with an MBA or MSc Accountancy and Financial Management top-up, awarded by the same UK university partner and delivered fully online. Business Management graduates are eligible for advanced standing.

What the Top-Up Involves

Awarded by a UK University

Your final degree certificate is issued directly by the UK university partner, an approved provider of UK degree programmes.

Fully Online — No Relocation Needed

Delivered entirely by distance learning with scheduled live lectures, so there's no need to travel to or obtain a visa for the UK to complete your top-up year.

1 Year, Full-Time

Undergraduate top-ups run for one year (120 credits) with intakes in January, May and September.

Separate Top-Up Tuition

The top-up year has its own tuition fee, payable directly to the UK university partner and separate from Brussels College fees. Contact our admissions team for current figures.

Stars College's Role

Stars College acts as a recruiting partner for Brussels College's UK Degree Pathway: we help you understand the route, prepare your application, and refer you into the programme. Brussels College teaches your core years in Brussels; the top-up year is taught, assessed and awarded entirely by the UK university partner.

A Route Reserved for Local & EU Students

This UK Degree Pathway is a separate route from Brussels College's Northwood University degrees, recognised by the U.S. Higher Learning Commission (open to international and EU students, taught full-time on the Brussels campus). See our US Degree Pathway page to learn about that route instead.
