Because of its small intake of students, Marbella International University Centre – which fulfils all the criteria and fully complies with the standards as established by the Rules and Regulations which govern the Accreditation Standards and Procedures of Higher Education Institutions introduced by the Bologna Declaration – prides itself on its ability to focus on individual development, providing practical applications of the knowledge learnt.

Term starts on Monday, 6 October and in addition to the tuition fees, the scholarship also includes an iPad specially configured for studying online.

So if you, or someone you know, meets all the criteria, get your application in now! It’s a fantastic opportunity to study for that degree… and without even having to leave Marbella.
