1 Year Top Up Degrees Popular with Working Adults

Every year, there is a huge number of students graduating from Polytechnics with Diplomas.  Almost all of them are eager to continue their studies, and are keen to get a Degree. However, most of these diploma holders need to start work, start a family, join National Service… things that put the thoughts of getting that degree on hold.

As a result, many think that once they join the work force or National Service, they won’t be able to pursue their dreams and get a degree, as they won’t be able to attend degree college full time. But this is no longer true.

Today, there are many top US, UK and local universities offering online learning programs that can be done at the comfort of your own home, anytime, anywhere. These online degree programs allow you to get that cherished degree without having to travel, or attend school full time.

One such popular course is the American Degree from Thomas University from USA. This course allows diploma students to get a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, once they have completed their Diploma. And this degree can be achieved within a 1 year period. Such degree programs are called 1 year Top-up Degree programs.

With the current economic situation, high cost of traveling to another country to study, or the constrainsts of working full time, it makes even better sense to embark on an online study route, and get the coveted degree while you are young, fresh, and full of ideas.

Don’t mistake online learning to be boring, just reading stuff online. Gone are those days… Today, online learning has turned into a much bigger draw, with more and more students joining online programs. Online study programs are fun, interactive, and convenient. You can interact with fellow students, lecturer, and you can always ask those stupid questions that you were afraid to ask in front of a full class - thinking what the others may think.

With such freedom, you can express yourself freely - say what’s on your mind, ask any questions, watch videos and presentation material. If anything is not clear, you can read or watch it again… this luxury is not available in a physical class.

And if you do not have a diploma yet, or you have only completed your O or A level exams, you can first get a diploma online too. This way, you can study to get a diploma first, and then continue to the degree program. The Informatics Academy offers the Diploma in Liberal Arts online, and is most suitable if you wish to pursue an American Degree from Thomas University.

Testimonials from Graduating Students of Thomas University

As a TU Alumni I can only say that I am honored to be part of the Thomas University family. Four years ago, I started my college career hoping to learn everything about the American culture and have the necessary tools to succeed in the corporate world.

Therefore, I decided to enter the business program at TU. The quality and organization of the business program far exceeded my expectations. I had the opportunity to learn from magnificent professors who not only cared about my success as a student, but also advised and guided me to become an outstanding professional.

That is the beauty about going to a small private university. You are not treated as a number; instead you become an important member of the community. Even when I took my online classes I felt the presence of my professors and their support through their constant responses via Blackboard. Someone would think that online programs are less personal than going to an actual class. But if you have the necessary tools and the right person to manage such programs, they become a unique and enjoyable experience.

Thanks to the outstanding education I received at Thomas University, I was able to find a superb profession at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I’m doing what I enjoy the most, marketing and international relations for the UAB Department of Radiation Oncology. TU proved to me that the American Dream really exists if you work hard to obtain it.
