What a DF Business School Diploma Is

Four points that govern every programme we offer. Read this before you apply.

Last updated: 16 Sep 2026

  1. Private, not public. DF Business School is a private diploma provider based in the UK. Our diplomas are awarded privately — not by government or by a university. Full corporate detail is published in the Legal Notice.

  2. Non-regulated. No DF Business School diploma is regulated by Ofqual or any UK qualifications regulator, and none carries UK academic credit. We do not use the terms Degree, Bachelor, Master or University — those are reserved by law for institutions holding degree-awarding powers.

  3. Two levels, one word. Every programme is styled simply as a "Diploma." Internally, and on your certificate and transcript, each one is classified as either a Professional Diploma or an Advanced Diploma — see How it works.

  4. Earned, not sold. Every diploma requires completed coursework and a final examination. We do not issue diplomas for payment alone, at any price, under any route.
