Looks like a diploma mill.  They hold no accreditation whatsoever.  On their site it states..

"Graduated students from Marbella Design Academy are awarded official Bachelor of Arts – BA (Hons) degrees by Middlesex University London."

So they are stating outright that all graduates will have a "degree" with honors.  So basically they hand out good grades as long as you show up and pay your fees; trademark of an unaccredited institution.  Also, Middlesex University London, which issues prints off these degrees, abandoned accreditation in 2005.   So from an academic integrity standpoint, there's little credibility here.  They are just a business interested in getting money.

So, your son will get a piece of paper that no one is going to take seriously or recognize, as it isn't a accredited school with independently monitored educational standards.  Should he want to further his education beyond the B.A level, again, it won't be possible since this degree won't be recognized.
