About Scarborough Beside the sea, on a hill overlooking the beautiful town of Scarborough, with the moors to the north and rugged coastline to the east, University Campus Scarborough provides an inspirational environment for learning. The town values its Higher Education and in partnership, University Campus Scarborough is committed to providing students with exciting opportunities for volunteering and work experience that you can participate in alongside your studies. Scarborough is a special place to live. There is plenty to do all year round whether you like outdoor activities, sports, music, art or drama. The area has an enviable reputation for its reasonable living costs and high-quality affordable accommodation - plus two beaches, harbourside cafes, a castle, museums, galleries and more traditional seaside entertainments. South Bay beach and the busy Brunswick shopping centre are only minutes apart, linked by the popular cliff lifts. Scarborough’s largely pedestrianised centre includes all the major high-street names plus many specialist shops which contribute to the town’s unique character. Boutique shopping and cafe culture are part of Scarborough’s unique appeal. Student nights in many of Scarborough’s pubs and clubs feature DJs, bands and open mic nights in an eclectic music scene. Whether you are into jazz, folk or pop all tastes are well and truly catered for.

NUS is a confederation of 600 students’ unions, amounting to more than 95 per cent of all higher and further education unions in the UK. Through its member students’ unions, we represent the interests of more than seven million students. We hold a range of events throughout the year, including our annual Freshers’ weeks, where you can take part in social activities, join societies and find out more about what you can look forward to whilst you’re studying with us.

Study Your Way At University Campus Scarborough, the majority of our programmes are available to study on a part-time basis and indeed many of our students choose to study around their existing commitments including full time jobs and families.

Studying part-time has meant I have worked alongside all age groups with different careers and aspirations also helping me prepare for my future. You will gain experience whilst studying which in my opinion makes you stand out above the crowd! Also doing it this way means I can apply any theory I learn in the classroom to the workplace increasing my understanding. I also wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up in debt! I now have a new job which I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been prepared for had I not attended this course. Charis

Top Up Degrees

Master’s Degrees

These are one-year pre-degree courses designed to help those who have either been out of education for some time or who do not have traditional qualifications to progress onto a degree or higher level study programme.

If you have successfully completed a HND or Foundation Degree you can choose to ‘top up’ to a Bachelors level qualification - this normally takes one year full time.

A Master’s Degree is available to graduates who wish to develop specialist knowledge in a particular field of study and normally requires one year of full time study.

Higher National Certificate (HNC)

The HND is again a vocationally led higher level programme oriented around a specific industry. It is roughly equivalent to the first two years of a degree.

Normally these are awarded by the industry body to which a programme of study relates, such as the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD). Students undertake these programmes to assist with the professional work place development and are normally studied part time.

Foundation Degrees

Bachelor’s Degrees

This is a vocational higher education qualification which combines academic study with work place learning. A foundation degree equips you with relevant skills for a particular area of employment and is usually studied over two years full time, and can lead to an honours degree with a further year of study.

These honours degrees are normally referred to as a BA (Bachelor of Arts), BSc (Bachelor of Sciences) or BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) and the award will depend on your subject of study. A degree normally takes three years to complete full time and up to six years part time.

Higher National Diploma (HND)

Jargon Buster

The HNC is a vocational qualification which is roughly equivalent to one year of a degree - progression is normally onto the equivalent HND.
