We are delighted to announce that KLC’s partnership with the University of Brighton has received formal approval.With effect from the 2010/2011 academic year, KLC students graduating from both the Full-Time Diploma in Interior Design and the Blended Learning Diploma in Interior Design will receive a KLC Diploma in Interior Design validated by the University of Brighton (***).
The Diploma Award will be clearly benchmarked against the QAA HE Level Framework with 120 credits at Level 5 giving it international recognition, thereby increasing employment opportunities worldwide.Students will gain credit points that can be transferred to other courses nationally and internationally.Graduates of the Diploma, who also have a prior degree qualification, will have an opportunity to continue their study or research further by applying to progress to one of the MA Level Qualifications through the University of Brighton or elsewhere.It will also provide an opportunity for KLC Students to access a variety of research facilities and activities at the University of Brighton.
This external validation will enable KLC to continue to operate as a Tier 4 Licence Sponsor (we have been awarded an “A” rating) and issue study visas to overseas students for successful applicants on the Full-Time Diploma in Interior Design.
We are looking forward to developing the partnership with the University of Brighton further and are very excited about the possibility of offering our students this prestigious external recognition of our qualification.
***The validation of the Diploma in Interior Design is subject to the conditions specified at the Validation Event held 30 March 2010 and to be completed by July 2010.DIPLOMA COURSE SYLLABUS
