Undergraduate course structure
An undergraduate degree is the ideal grounding to launch your career in your chosen subject area. You can study an undergraduate degree at any time, whether you're just leaving school, want to do further study after college, or whether you have been in the workplace for a long time - it's never too late to learn!
Our full-time undergraduate courses (called Bachelor degrees in some countries) last for four years to achieve an Honours classification.
You will study three modules for the first two trimesters of each year, and you will also complete an Honours project in year four. If you wish to leave after year three, you will be awarded an 'ordinary' (not Honours) degree.
See the term dates calendar.
Postgraduate course structure
If you’re looking to build on previous study, or add a formal qualification to your experience, postgraduate study is the way to go. We offer a wide range of postgraduate degrees to help you face work-related challenges, advance your career and develop professionally & personally. Many of our courses are professionally accredited, and we have established strong links with industry groups and employers.
Our full-time taught postgraduate courses (called Graduate degrees in some countries) are one calendar year (three trimesters) long.
In the first two trimesters you will undertake three modoules, and in the last trimester you'll be working on your Masters project.
If you wish to leave after two trimesters you will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma.
