Essex university business and management Less than 4 years

So basically I wanted to study business but my father got another idea and didn’t accept my choice because it’s hard so I choose international public relations but didn’t find this major as a option in online education in Essex university so I choose business and management because it was the major I wanted from the beginning and then my father accepted when we found that there is something named CertHe option ,it’s an 16 month business education instead of 4 years so what you think about the CertHe option and what the difference between the CertHe and other options
the other options are
BA(Hons)
BA(Hons)top up
Those are undergraduate
There is another option is postgraduate but I don’t know what it is

Hiya @Alara17
Congratulations on your offer!

-The CerHe is a short for Certificate of Higher Education which corresponds to 120 credits at Level 4. In other words CerHe is the same as the first year of a batchers degree.
Once you have completed this qualification (if you want) you are able to progress into a full Bachelors degree.

-BA(Hons) is the a bachelors degree online that has the duration of 4 years instead of the regular 4 years.

-BA (Hons) top up is the equivalent to he final year of an undergraduate degree. These courses are aimed at students who have previously completed a related foundation level degree and it provides a route for students to achieve a bachelors degree. A Top-up degree does not allow you to top up a Bachelors degree to a Bachelors degree with Honours (a ‘BA (Hons) degree’).
