Students can easily switch from full time to part time or Saturday or Sunday or even change to another class/course or another campus or to full distance learning.

Variable Level Entry. Our unique and exciting programmes provide pathways for just about anyone with the right attitude to obtain a tertiary education. We make it possible for you to enter many of our programmes, regardless of age, and with CXCs or CAPE/A-levels or a degree or with an acceptable level of work experience in place of the traditional academic entry requirements. At SBCS our focus is on providing you with the best possible options for obtaining a tertiary education in the field of your choosing.

Intermediate

Academic Awards.

We recognize that choosing a career in today’s competitive and dynamic environment is a most difficult decision, especially for those who have little or no work experience. This is the main reason why many of our programmes are structured to allow for the acquisition of a number of intermediate awards, while on the path to the final award. These intermediate awards are fully recognized by industry, and can be used to obtain employment and thereby gain valuable work experience while simultaneously allowing for full completion of your selected course of study via part time or other modes. These programmes are also ideally suited to working persons who may want to complete their tertiary studies while retaining full time employment. Most importantly intermediate awards can be used to access related programmes with, in most cases, advanced standing.
