CHOOSE HOW YOU STUDY
3 YEAR FULL-TIME DEGREE
Our deliberately different approach means you will study in the morning or afternoon, giving you the flexibility to work around your other commitments. You will study in blocks, focusing on one subject module at a time and you’ll be assessed at the end of every block so no traditional end-of-year exams.
104 UCAS TARIFF POINTS
2 YEAR ACCELERATED DEGREE
Accelerated degrees are perfect for those who want to complete their studies much faster. You will study 6 modules a year (instead of 4), but you will achieve a full degree awarded by Lancaster University in two years, not three. Plus the overall cost is less than the standard three-year degrees on offer.
104 UCAS TARIFF POINTS
1 YEAR CERT HE
The equivalent to the first year of a degree. This is a great option if you have some qualifications but don’t meet the entry requirements for our full degree course. Successful completion will guarantee progression onto Year 2 of the applicable degree course at UA92. So you can still complete your degree in 3 years.
64 UCAS TARIFF POINTS
