Undergraduate (online)
An accelerated degree condenses your degree modules into two years on the full-time route, or three years on the part-time route. This means you'll be working across three study blocks per year, instead of two, including through the summer.
The number of hours you do on a weekly basis will differ depending on if you study part-time over three years or full-time over two years.
First year students
Please note: the week beginning 16 September is a virtual welcome week. During this week there will be welcome webinars and emails with practical information and guidance on how to get started with your online studies. You will not have access to any academic content until Friday 20 September.
