Our Undergraduate Programmes
The learning process for our undergraduate programmes is structured through three levels.
For a full-time student these match the three years of the degree. A part-time student progresses more slowly through the levels. Level 1 consolidates your previous experience; level 2 and 3 provides you with substantial choices which enable you to develop your interests.
Full-time or part-time?
All the above degrees (except those involving the study of a foreign language or languages) can be completed full-time in three years or part-time over 4-6 years. Part-time students take 2 or 3 courses per year. Language degrees involve a 'year abroad' and therefore normally take four years (full time).
You may find part-time study particularly suitable if you have childcare or work commitments, but you will need to set aside enough time for lectures, seminars and private study. Your choice of courses may be restricted to the units that take place during your free time. All courses take place between 9am and 6pm on weekdays. You will choose your second and third year courses in the spring term and you can see then which units are compatible with your other commitments.
