Benefits of part-time study

Part-time degrees can be suitable if you have work or family commitments, giving you the flexibility to develop your skills learning something that you love, while also progressing your career or caring for your family at the same time.

Alongside offering the flexibility of a part-time degree, during our admissions process we also consider non-traditional qualifications, work and life experience, and credit may also be given for prior learning and certificate work.

If you are considering part-time study, we would recommend you contact us about the course you are interested in, and your specific circumstances. This will allow us to discuss how a part-time degree could fit around your current commitments.
