One of the distinguishing features of GBU-Europe is that at the end of each year of our three-year Bachelor programme, we award separate certificates: at the end of the first year a Diploma; at the end of the second year an Advanced Diploma; and, finally, at the end of the third year, a Bachelor certificate. This offers students more flexibility and the freedom to start a degree without committing to the entire length of the course.

On completion of Year 1, successful students will be awarded the Diploma in Marketing Management.

On completion of Year 2, successful students will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Insurance Management.
Finally, upon completion of Year 3, successful students will be awarded the Bachelor of Science in Insurance Management.
