We believe that opportunity should be available to all. That’s why we offer a variety of part-time courses to offer the flexibility to balance study with a busy lifestyle. Choosing a part-time course allows you to study at your own pace, helps to spread the cost of tuition fees over a longer period of time and allows you to complete your qualification whilst living away from campus.
