Potential hack to get admitted into Master's without Bachelor's

[hakjack]

There are many UK institutions that don't require a Bachelors, you just need a Level 7 and then do a Top-Up program...

Hey!

Can you provide some examples?

To enroll Level 7 you need level 5-level 6 or bachelor degree

There are many, have you searched for them in the graduate section? There have been several threads created by me, and OtterBen pretty much created a thread dedicated to Level 7/8 options as well. I think all the threads I created was linked by his one thread...

Another hack is to just get a cheap bachelors/bachelors equivalent degree (ie. ENEB programs) and then apply to a grad program. I dont understand this motivation to get around a bachelors degree requirement when these form the foundation for a masters degree.

Did you read the entry requirements for Level 7 Diploma ?
Example:

"Entry requirements

For entry onto the OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Marketing qualification, learners must possess:

• An honours degree in related subject or UK level 6 diploma or an equivalent overseas qualification
  
• Mature learners with management experience (learners must check with the delivery centre regarding this experience prior to registering for the programme)
  
• Learners must be 21 years old or older at the beginning of the course
  
• English requirements: If a learner is not from a majority English-speaking country must provide evidence of English language competency. For more information visit English Language Expectations page in our website http://www.othm.org.uk."
  

So the question is How could you enroll the Level 7 without level 6 or bachelor degree ?

I am enrolled in Level 7 and Level 8 programs with another provider, even though I do not have a Bachelor’s degree. Yes, I have completed a few Master’s programs at ENEB, but I haven’t even included them in my resume yet. I was admitted based on my professional experience, which I have been building for almost nine years now. I know that the providers are very committed to finding a solution. At OTHM, professional experience is also highly valued, and you must contact them in advance to ensure that your work experience aligns with the diploma’s requirements.

Providers have their case-by-case basis review of individuals who do not have an undergrad degree or level 6 and lower diploma. Basically, if you're over 21, have a few years showing you're progressing into management level, they'll review that favorably. This is said to be the same for ENEB also, as they're evaluated as a Level 7 and have similar requirements...

So, for people wondering, if you're 18 and just finished high school, they're not going to let you in just because you have a couple of years working at McDonalds and now a team leader working your way up... Having said that, if you're 23, have been at McD's for 5 years and already a team leader looking to be an assistant manager, you'll have a more favorable review.

Note: For Level 7 and 8 diploma providers, they usually will have a few different fields of study, you need to make sure you have experience in that specific study (or a related area).

Cost. 

For someone like me, I only need 4 classes to finish at TESU. Two of those classes have to be the cornerstone and capstone. Then I have to pay the residency waiver. Then the other two classes which, depending on where they come from, can be cheap or not so cheap. I'm an immigrant in a foreign country and like many many people in the world right now, I am unemployed. I'm not trying to "get around a bachelors degree" I'm just out here trying to survive and make myself more employable. I don't have $10K to give to TESU right now for a bachelors when I snagged a masters from ENEB for $150 that is accepted in my current country and most of the surrounding ones as well. 

Most of us are here on this forum because the traditional route doesn't work for us.

Just a warning, I found a place that does require a Bachelor's where having a Master's alone would not qualify you. That is taking the CPA (tax / accountant) exam and getting a US state CPA license. You can have a Bachelor's in an unrelated subject and then have a few graduate credits or a Master's in accounting, but having a Master's in accounting alone without a Bachelor's in anything won't let you get the license.
