As well as the traditional, three year Degree, courses also include the higher technical and professional qualifications such as the HE Certificates/Diplomas and NVQ Level 4 (these are sometimes delivered in conjunction with an associated FE College).

 

Part-time options are available for many courses, some running in the evening.  In some subjects, students can start with a HE Certificate in a chosen area, go onto a HE Diploma and then progress to a Degree Course.
