The Rector of Pentecost University College, Dr. Daniel Okyere Walker in explaining the importance of the collaboration said: “This agreement is going to provide a top - up education for the ABE and HND graduates and what it means is that, when students complete their ABE programme at level five or six Diploma, they can then move on to a top-up degree programme with London South Bank University within one academic year.

“It (ABE programme) is more industry related and the more reason why we brought London South Bank University into this agreement is that, they, in the past have been a Polytechnic Institute mainly technology based before becoming a full University”

“After students have been enrolled on the London South Bank University and graduated, they can easily continue to do a masters programme with the same school.”
