I did BU130 last yr, the difference is based on parts of the course, where with BU130 there is a choice in parts of the assisgnment, but the buxs - from memory this is more clerical, office based, but it is def worth looking through the descriptions x

Although it is a business related course, you use examples of circumstances, but you manage things in everyday life from budgets, a lot of it perspectives on things.

some of the work is done in conjunction with Learn Direct, - they have changes some of the course material around, i'm a stay at home mum, and I did ok, it is a good course - it makes you think and reaction to circumstances.

Your be fine x

BUXS130 is for public servants only. You have to be on a sponsored course to be considered.

BU130 is great, I did it last year and it is hard but worth it. I'm on B203 and Mu123 at the moment, B203 is hard but MU123 is insanely hard!!!

BU130 is a marmite course - people wither love it or hate it. Personally, I hated it and dropped it, and I know of others who have thought the same.

Thanks for replies


I should have chosen that one but haven't and I chose b120 and LB160:/
so I have one from extra modules and one from these ones I have to do now I can choose on my pathway just bu130 or BUXS130 so I can do just 30 credits since October and last 30 since feb which I don't know if I will get grant for if its just 30 at once and I am worrying:<

B120 is a good course, can you do the 60 points in the yr, as BU130 later in the year, as for the first part of the course, I was flying through and doing 3 weeks in a week.

Good luck with funding, - I got to try to get that sorted next!! otherwise taking a year out to get sorted xx

But I taken modules in wrong order:/ two compulsory so b120 and bu130


And plus two chosen ones supposed to be (to finish 120 credits)

But I didn't knew and chosen b120 plus one from extra:/ so I can't enrol more than 1 (bu130)
