Possible Issue with UK Level 8 Diplomas

[bjcheung77]

In short, UK Level 8 Diploma programs all have a possible progression chart, you can't really deviate from that progression list. You can try to go for alternatives that may be cheaper, easier, faster, have better ROI/Value, or to personalize your learning further, but that's only if you can find alternatives, the only one that's possible are DBA related programs. Here's an example of using OTHM Level 8 Diploma.

University of Gloucestershire
OTHM Level 8 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Practice
Entry onto: Doctor in Business Administration DBA

I wouldn't go this route as the DBA from Gloucestershire is going to cost over $40K alone, as the DBA is much more expensive than doing the UK Level 8 and laddering to a degree from Athabasca U, Baker College, Westcliff DBA, or even ladder to a Walden PhD in Management Completion program if any of these accept the UK Level 8 for transfer.

Here's an example of a private institution in France, the Ed.D that will accept UK Level 8 diplomas, the kicker is, the pricing once again. So, you don't want to pay $40K for this when you can do a comparable program at ACE.edu at half the price point!
