Unfortunately, until they get country recognized accreditation, their non ACBSP programs aren't really worth it, unless the top-ups are the way you want to get into a valid UK Top Up institution. Otherwise, I'd look for other affordable options.
Given the discussions about pathway options, I agree that there are better-established routes for those planning to progress into additional programs.
To clarify, I did not actually need the EIU BBA; I was already doing the Level 4, 5 Diplomas and UK BSc (Hons) Top up after the Levels 4 and 5.
However, I found them interesting, so I completed both the OTHM Level 6 diploma and EIU BBA Top-up as extracuricular activities.
For those who have a valid UK Level 4 or 5 diploma and wish to advance to a UK Top-Up BSc, they can do so as the next step after completion of the UK Levels 4 and 5.
Alternatively, they can earn a UK Level 6 Diploma as a top-up.
Having UK Diplomas at Levels 4, 5, and 6 essentially means one has completed UK Bachelor's level studies and can progress to the Master's degree level in the UK (Level 7). Some working professionals do the diplomas and go for the Master's Level this way.
On average, a UK Top-Up BSc costs about £6,000 while a UK Level 6 Diploma costs around £1,000. The EIU BBA Top-Up has a cost of approximately €1,000.
The completion of the three UK Diplomas (Levels 4, 5, and 6), the completion of the UK BSc (Hons) Top-Up, and the completion of the EIU Top-Up all were fun and interesting.
I joined this forum in May of last year, and since then, had to learn the Spanish system (ENEB and Propios), then Italian, as well as European Qualifications Frameworks, and UK Regulated Qualifications Frameworks.
Most recently with EIU, thanks to their disclosures that they are not part of the French National system, it gave an opportunity to research more and learn about the French National system (LMD aka "Licence, Master, Doctorat"), the RNCP, compared to the non LMD UAI school sector, aka "Paris Schools".
It's been quite fun, and the discussion was never about EIU for me. It was more about understanding and sharing what I have found about various education frameworks while staying factual.
