Top-Up Degrees in College
Apart from universities, a number of colleges also run undergraduate programmes and accept students into top-up degrees. Although the top-up degrees are taught at colleges, the qualification is still awarded by universities. It usually takes 1 to 1.5 years to complete a top-up programme in colleges which is shorter than doing similar programmes in universities.
