Applicants who are interested in studying part-time should contact the relevant admissions tutor at an early stage, before submissions of their UCAS application, in order to discuss possible patterns of study. The degree is designed to give students who may have had a break in their formal learning a meaningful, useful and enjoyable understanding of a wide range of disciplines while providing an opportunity to develop the analytical, communication and organisation skills which many employers seek. At the same time, it will give you the chance to enjoy learning with staff and fellow students who share the challenges and rewards of part-time study. The programme is modular and interdisciplinary, designed to give the greatest amount of flexibility compatible with the coherence and rigour expected in an honours degree.
Teaching generally takes place on weekday evenings, with some week- end classes.
Students normally take six years to complete the degree although five years is the minimum allowed, and studies may be extended up to nine years. At level two, all students take a foundation module and a range of other compulsory and optional modules. At level three, students continue to take modules of their choice and also complete a dissertation. Admissions are on the basis of written application and interview. The programme is CATS rated.
