Part Time Degrees
Part-Time Study in Humanities
We offer an extremely flexible part-time Programme. With our help and advice and following a few basic guidelines you can put together a Programme of Study which suits your needs and your interests. We have a large and thriving community of part-time students who study alongside full-time students and who have equal access to the full range of facilities and support mechanisms at the University.
- A part-time student normally studies between 2 and 5 modules (30 - 75 credits) per academic year.
- Varying rates of study are possible: you can increase or decrease your rate of study year by year or semester by semester in response to your changing circumstances.
- You are entitled to take a break from study for a semester or even a year if your circumstances require it.
- If you wish, you can apply to transfer to a full-time rate of study. This should be arranged at the beginning of the academic year.
- If you sign up for six or more modules in a year, you will be liable to pay full-time fees.
- In order to ensure the coherence, currency and relevance of your programme, you should aim to complete your degree within a maximum of seven years.
