Part-time courses

A part-time course is the ideal solution if you want to combine study with commitments at work or home:

Arts and social sciences

The modular structure of our arts and social sciences degrees means we have a well-established part-time programme for these subjects. All classes take place during the day and part-time students study alongside full-time undergraduates.

It usually takes six years to complete a part-time honours degree. But you can:

  • take one or two modules before committing to the full award;
  • gain a Certificate of Higher Education after one to two years of study; or
  • a Diploma of Higher Education after three to four years.

You can usually take a single subject degree or combine two subject areas (a joint honours course).

Other opportunities

Other part-time opportunities include:

  • part-time options for many of our science, technology and surveying courses;
  • part-time non-degree HND courses with a greater emphasis on practical skills; and
  • our foundation degrees for science and technology, which combine flexible academic study with work-based learning.
