Yes, there are lots of unaccredited former polytechnics which will do that. Use Google to find them: www.google.com/search?gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF…

Top Up MBA
Compared to an MBA from a low-ranked school, a better alternative would be to use the PGDip as credit towards an MSc from a well-ranked university. In terms of well regarded schools, I'd start by asking Warwick, Henley and Ashridge what's possible. The Open University would be worth asking too.Wed Jul 04, 2012 07:40 PM For credit accumulation and transfer, a PGDip counts as 75% of an MSc. Each school may ask to see your transcript and add its own requirements. Obviously, a PGDip from Oxford is going to count considerably more than a PGDip from Portsmouth. |

Duncan's right and for good reason: 'top up MBAs' aren't worth the paper on which they are written, IMO.Thu Jul 05, 2012 01:51 PM In contrast, check out the ranking and reputation of places like Ashridge and especially Warwick. (Both 'superbrands' in the thread on this subject.) If your PGDip is from a lower ranked school, then upgrading it to an MSc from Ashridge, Warwick, Henley or the Open University would be very valuable. E.g. www.wbs.ac.uk/students/masters/ www.ashridge.org.uk/website/content.nsf/wDEG/MSc+i… In which management discipline is your PGDip and where did you study? |

Top Up MBA
The top up will depend on the institution from which you have done your PG Dip. have you done from a private college or from a UK University campus
