Study Abroad Consultancy

Do I need IELTS for London Metropolitan University's International Business Management course?
Not necessarily. London Metropolitan University's Holloway campus offers an English-requirement waiver for its BSc (Hons) International Business Management: if you scored a B+ or better in Grade 12 (NEB) English, you can skip a separate English test entirely. Without that grade, you'd need IELTS 6.0 overall (no band below 5.5), PTE Academic 59 overall/59 per section, or Duolingo English Test 105 overall/95 per section. Requirements vary by university and course, so always confirm with a counsellor for the specific programme you're applying to.

Can I still apply to a UK university if I took a gap year after +2?
Yes, in most cases - a documented academic gap is a normal and accepted part of many UK applications, not a disqualifier. For example, London Metropolitan University's BSc (Hons) International Business Management (Holloway campus) explicitly accepts applicants with a gap year. What matters is being able to explain the gap honestly in your application/SOP. Requirements do vary by university, so check the specific course you're interested in with a counsellor.

How much does a UK business degree cost for a Nepali student, and are there scholarships available?
It varies significantly by university and course - as an example, London Metropolitan University's BSc (Hons) International Business Management is currently listed at roughly GBP 17,600 per year for international students (indicative; always confirm the current figure with the university/counsellor before committing). Scholarships can meaningfully reduce this: London Met, for instance, offers a GBP 5,000 scholarship plus a 5% early-payment discount, and a 20% alumni-linked scholarship for applicants with a family member who graduated from the same university. Ask your counsellor about scholarships for any specific university you're considering - most UK universities offer some form of merit or early-payment discount.

What does 'direct entry' mean for a UK bachelor's degree?
Direct entry means you go straight into the full bachelor's degree programme (typically 3 years full-time) without first completing a foundation year - as long as your existing academic background (e.g. Nepali +2/NEB Grade 12) meets the university's entry criteria. This is different from an International Foundation Year route, which adds an extra year before the degree itself starts. Not every course requires the same route - some universities require a foundation year for certain subjects or lower academic profiles, others (like London Metropolitan University's BSc International Business Management) offer direct entry with comparatively accessible requirements. A counsellor can tell you which route applies to the specific course and university you're aiming for.

How many seats are available per batch?
Just 5 seats per course per batch, by design — small groups mean every student gets direct, hands-on guidance instead of getting lost in a crowd.

Do I get a certificate after completing a course?
Yes, all four courses include a certificate of completion issued by Academic Destination Nepal once you finish the batch.
Was this answer helpful?
Do I need any prior experience to join?
No prior experience is needed for Python Programming, Spoken English, or Advanced Computer — they're designed for beginners. Django & PostgreSQL builds on basic Python knowledge, so completing our Python course first (or having equivalent experience) is recommended.
