Topping up OTHM Diploma into a BSc Degree? EU
#1
Hi, I'm currently doing the OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Accounting and Business (L5DAB-OT-V2.0) through distance learning, basically half-way through it. 

I am from Malta and here UK Diplomas and Degrees are well regarded. I was doing ACCA and I have done the Fundamentals (MA1,MA2, FA1, FA2) and I received 2 diplomas, RQF level 2 and 3. The problem is that where I want to apply for job post (with Maltese Government) they state qualification requirements along with the 'minimum ECTS/ECVET credits', not just the level of the qualification, and the ACCA Diplomas I received are both under the 60 ECTS Credits requirement for the job post.

the OTHM Diploma is 120 UK Credits (60 ECTS) and MQF Level 5, so I should be eligible for the job once I complete it. 

My question is, in order to top up an OTHM Level 5 Diploma into a BSc qualification (minimum of 180 ECTS), through distance learning from Malta, are there any recommended Online Universities / Distance Learning Top-Up UK Programmes that accept OTHM diplomas so that I can top-up into a Bachelors in 1 year instead of the usual 3 year duration?

Standard academic year has 60 ECTS therefore You need two years to earn additional 120 ECTS without acceleration

Welcome to the board, great intro post but you're missing the addendum and template.  We have some bits and pieces of information, but not enough to process and provide you a concrete answer.  You also placed this in the graduate section, I've moved this to the degree planning advice and you should update us with the info I mentioned: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

Basically, I've mentioned this many times, review some posts, threads, and the WIKI for info.  I've written about the UK diploma options before, your best bet is to get a Level 4/5/6 to get you the credits enough to 'top-up' to a Bachelors as you don't have enough to cross over to the 'top-up' level.  Heck, I even tell people to go further by doing a Level 7 as well in case they want to 'top up' to a Masters!
