Industry Inspired Degrees

If you’re applying for Apprenticeships, it may be because you want to learn on the job and get the most relevant up to date skills that make you employable.

Our degrees are co-designed by industry partners such as Microsoft, so you can be assured you will be developing the most up-to-date skills that employers are looking for.

Industry partners including Microsoft, Manchester United, KPMG and Lancashire Cricket – giving you real-world experience, similar to what you’d gain from an apprenticeship.

Study morning or afternoon
STUDY IN THE MORNING OR AFTERNOON

Our fixed timetable means you’ll study in the morning, 9am-1pm, or afternoon, 2pm-6pm, giving you a clear routine that fits around work or other commitments.

Earn While You Learn

Most university timetables make it impossible for you to commit to set hours, which can make it difficult to work and study at the same time.

Our fixed timetable gives you the structure to be able to make longer-term commitments and support yourself with part-time work alongside your studies.

No traditional end of year exams*
NO TRADITIONAL END-OF-YEAR EXAMS

Like apprenticeships, assessments are practical and competency based where possible – ideal if you prefer hands-on learning over exam pressure.
