About our undergraduate courses
Undergraduate study gives you the opportunity to explore a subject in depth and develop your ability to question, analyse and apply what you learn. Alongside specialist knowledge, it can strengthen your confidence in solving problems, communicating ideas and working independently.
Our undergraduate provision includes honours degrees and focused Special Purpose Awards. These differ in scope and duration, giving learners opportunities to pursue a broader qualification or develop knowledge in a particular area.
Choosing a programme involves considering both your interests and the commitment required. Look at the learning outcomes, qualification and weekly timetable alongside your career goals and personal circumstances. Where a course includes practical learning or placement, factor this into your plans too.
