Going to university doesn't just mean spending three years studying for a Bachelor's degree - there are many ways聽you can gain a higher education qualification at undergraduate level.
Types of undergraduate courses
Bachelor's degree
A standard Bachelor's degree takes three years to complete (full-time) and will see you graduate with one of the following titles: Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), or Bachelor of Law (LLB). They are all of equal status and it's possible to get your degree with聽Honours.
Four-year 'sandwich' degree
A sandwich degree is a Bachelor's course with an additional year 'sandwiched' between your second and final years of study. During your third year, you will go on a relevant work to put what you have learned into practice and test your skills.聽
Within some courses, a minimum 30-week work is mandatory. However, all of our undergraduate students have the option to undertake a聽work placement as part of their course.聽
Degree Apprenticeship
Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6 (undergraduate)聽means splitting your time between working for an employer and studying at 蜜桃AV, enabling you to earn a Bachelor's degree while gaining practical experience. It typically spans three to four years and is tailored to specific industries, offering hands-on training alongside academic learning. You would receive a salary from your聽employer and tuition fees are covered as part of the apprenticeship, making it a cost-effective pathway to a degree.聽

Pathway programmes (non-UK)

Foundation degrees
Although full Honours degrees (BA/BSc/BEng/LLB) are the most common undergraduate courses, they are not the only way to achieve a higher education qualification. You can also complete a Foundation degree, which lasts only two years and combines academic study with workplace learning.
Top-up degree
If you already have a Foundation degree, or another relevant qualification like a聽HND, you can complete just one year of study on a Top-up degree, which allows you to achieve a full Honours level qualification and graduate with a BSc (Hons) or BA (Hons).
Foundation Year
Foundation Years are an alternative route to studying a full degree. You would take a one-year course which enables you to progress on to the first year of one of our eligible undergraduate degrees.聽
