Discuss a degree partnership

Before you get started

Who awards the degree?

Your university. It awards the degree, approves the curriculum through its Board of Studies and provides the campus and academic support. Futred designs and runs the programme with you.

Which programmes are offered?

Three undergraduate degrees (BBA (Hons) Investment Banking, Strategy and Management; BBA (Hons) Technology and Business Management; BCA (Hons) Cybersecurity and Cloud) and two MBAs (Investment Banking, Strategy and Management; Technology and Business Management).

What are the Australian qualifications?

Undergraduate students earn an Australian Diploma (AQF level 5) and Advanced Diploma (AQF level 6) within the degree, delivered through ATMC. For BCA (Hons) Cybersecurity and Cloud, the Advanced Diploma is part of the international route.

Can students study abroad?

Yes, on the undergraduate programmes. Students can move to Federation University, Coventry University or UWE Bristol with Year 2 entry, or complete a three-year Indian degree and then a final year at UWE Bristol to earn a UK degree as well. Entry depends on each university’s admission requirements and visa approval.

How is teaching shared?

You choose a partnership model. In Model A (co-delivery), teaching is shared 50:50 between your faculty and Futred. In Model B (Futred-led), Futred delivers all teaching through industry practitioners. Your university approves the degree in both models.

How is revenue shared?

Both models use a structured revenue share that reflects who delivers what. The split is agreed together with each university.
