Program Overview
This program is delivered in collaboration with RMIT, UTS, Essex and Ulster with Pearson qualifications, and is a structured international transfer pathway that enables students to progress efficiently towards a globally recognised Bachelor’s degree while developing future-ready, industry-relevant skills.
Students begin with 1 to 2 years of Bachelor’s-level credits at KCIC, building core capabilities in accounting, finance, and business management. The curriculum integrates new-age competencies including financial analysis and compliance (accounting), digital strategy and consumer insight (marketing), enterprise systems and data-driven decision-making (business information systems), and decentralised technologies, smart contracts, and digital assets (blockchain). These skills reflect the evolving needs of modern organisations and global economies.
Upon successful completion, students can transfer to Australia with advanced standing, entering directly into Year 2 or, in selected cases, Year 3 of a Bachelor’s degree, enabling completion in a shorter timeframe with full degree outcomes. Graduates progress into careers with global employers that actively recruit from partner universities such as RMIT, UTS, Ulster, and Essex.
All partner universities hold AACSB accreditation for undergraduate business programmes, ensuring high academic standards, global recognition, and strong career progression opportunities in high-demand sectors.
Further studies / Careers
When progressing to a Master’s in the same field after a Bachelor’s from RMIT University, University of Essex, Ulster University or University of Technology Sydney, students may receive advanced standing or accelerated entry. While full exemptions are limited, prior study enables completion within 1 to 1.5 years, with opportunities to enter specialised or advanced streams aligned to their discipline.
Entry Criteria
Eligibility requires completion of 10+2 from any recognised national or international board with a minimum of 70% in English language proficiency. After submitting the application, students may be required to attend a personal interview or aptitude test. This assessment evaluates academic readiness, communication ability, and suitability for the chosen pathway in business, accounting, or management, ensuring students are well-prepared for progression within the international transfer programme.
Study Journey from KCIC to Study Abroad
In the first year, students develop core business understanding alongside future-ready skills. They gain capabilities in marketing, leadership, financial decision-making, and project execution. The programme builds digital business awareness, data-driven thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability, preparing students to operate effectively in modern, technology-driven global organisations.
In the second year, students have the option to transfer to Australia and specialise in majors such as economics, blockchain, business information systems, business analytics, or accounting and finance, or continue through the UK pathway. The programme builds advanced strategic, analytical, and future-ready skills for global career progression.
In the final year at RMIT University, University of Essex, Ulster University or University of Technology Sydney, students study advanced subjects aligned to their chosen major, including areas such as accounting, analytics, marketing, blockchain, or business systems. They complete capstone projects, industry-based assignments, and applied research. Subject selection varies by major—please speak to our counsellor or visit us to align your academic pathway.
Upon graduation, students receive a full international degree and are eligible for an 18–24 month post-study work visa, allowing them to stay and seek employment. This visa permits full-time work and does not require employer sponsorship.
