Background

KCB was established in 1982 and celebrated its Silver Jubilee in 2007. It specialises primarily in Business and Information Technology.

KCB concentrates in three areas of education:

  • The delivery of pre-university, undergraduates and postgraduates studies
  • Providing specialist training to major corporate clients (including Lloyds TSB and Capita Registrars)
  • Preparing the students for the qualifications of leading Chartered Professional bodies such as Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) and the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)

Associations

Kensington College of Business is a London campus of the University of Chester to offer MBA, MSc, BA and BSc programs. Kensington College of Business is a registered centre with the University of London and the University of Wales to deliver the programs and receive validations from the respective universities. KCB also offers courses in collaboration with the University of South Wales, the University of Hertfordshire, and the University of Portsmouth.

KCB created a subsidiary institution named the Laksamana College of Business in Brunei, allowing students there to receive a foundation degree accredited by KCB.[1] These students may then continue their education at KCB in London to receive their university degree.

Validations

All undergraduate and postgraduate programs offered by KCB are validated by the University of Wales with the exception of the Law degree (LLB) which is awarded by University of London.

KCB itself is accredited to offer HNC and HND courses from BTEC Pearson in Business, while students seeking university degrees must sit for exams at the University of Chester.

Academics

KCB courses validated by the University of Wales include BA-level study in Business Studies, Marketing, Information Technology, Business Accounting and Finance; MBA-level studies in Health Care Management, Tourism and Hospitality Management, Travel Management, Information Technology Management, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing, International Management, Security Management, Banks and Financial Institutions Management as well as General Studies; and MSc-level studies in Computing.

KCB courses validated by the University of London include LLB studies.

gollark: > In Murphy's law terms, the SCUE is the thing that can and will go wrong. The most useless of underlings, the SCUE is the last person you want on your team. They cannot follow or understand instructions; they can find the best way to sabotage your efforts with the precision of an idiot savant. There is a good case for shooting thme on sight, but it is usually better to pay them to work for your competition. (Example: Toad).
gollark: So you're SCUE?
gollark: Maybe you're just lying on the test.
gollark: Anyway, you could make it into a 4x4 grid if you wanted to, or a 2x2x2x2 hypercube.
