Part-time degrees offer students a more flexible approach to learning, allowing students with outside commitments to complete their studies over a longer period of time. For undergraduate degrees, this is typically 5–7 years. All applications are judged on their own individual merits, in the same way as applications for full-time degree programmes. Your application for a part-time degree should be made directly to the School of Study and not through the UCAS system. Subject areas in which part-time degrees are available at the time of writing are listed below.
