Welcome part-time students
Choose to study how you want and when you
want...
You could start with a short
course or a course chosen from the collection of subjects in
the University
Foundation Award scheme. These subjects are taught at one
hundred different centres throughout the region, and classes
normally take place in the evening.The award allows progression to
the first year of certain degree programmes.
Then, of course, there are undergraduate or postgraduate degree programmes taken over a
longer period of time than their fulltime equivalents – commonly
twice as long – because part-time students take fewer modules
simultaneously. Depending on the programme, fixed sessions (such as
lectures or tutorials) may take place during the daytime, in the
evenings, or at weekends.
Some programmes are specifically offered only part-time, and not
all degree programmes are available in a part-time version – though
availability is growing. Further details are available from
departments. See the contact given under each programme in the
‘Courses’ section.

Student View
"It has been the fulfillment of my ambition as a retired
person to learn more in depth about literature and the arts. My
only problem has been advanced age and memory loss! Still, my young
nephews, who are both about to enter university, are quite
impressed that their aunt is already there."
- Pat Dawson
