New pathways to a college degree: How US college credits can help save time and money

Higher education continues to be an important investment for people looking to achieve their academic or career goals. As study costs continue to rise globally, finding ways to save both time and money has become an important part of planning for university. 

One area that is often overlooked is the variety of pathways that can contribute towards a college degree. Understanding these options helps students make informed choices about their future studies. 

Different pathways to a college degree 

There is more than one pathway to a college degree. When students join our 4-week Certificate programmes in London, they have the opportunity to add 3 US college credits through our School of Record partnership with Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU). These US college credits may contribute towards a future degree. 

Why this matters 

Adding US college credits to a Certificate means students leave with more than one recognised outcome. 

On successful completion, students leave with: 

• A Bayswater Certificate 

• An official FDU transcript recording US college credits 

• A Global Skills Certificate 

• Digital Badges 

Instead of leaving with only a certificate, students leave with global soft skills, US college credits and additional recognised outcomes that support their future academic and career goals. 

What students should know 

Every university sets its own policies for recognising transfer credits. Before enrolling, students should check with their chosen university to understand whether credits earned through FDU may be accepted towards their degree.
