Part-time study

Whether you are starting out in work, seeking career progression or expanding your knowledge, our part-time courses offer the flexibility you need. With many of our students studying part-time, we understand your particular needs and are fully equipped to support you.

STUDY OPTIONS

We offer high-quality courses with a range of part-time study options (UK-based students only) including day, evening and weekend study. Our courses provide opportunities for integrated personal, academic and career development, designed with employer and employee needs in mind. The mode of delivery, course structure and length may vary depending on the course you wish to study.

SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS

Part-time students benefit from the same support and advice as those in full-time study with round-the-clock access to our online learning environment, remote access to more than 80 information databases and 24-hour libraries during term-time at our Luton and Bedford campuses. Student Information Desks (SiD) are on every campus to provide help and answer questions on topics such as accommodation, finance and counselling. Outside of campus hours, students can access SiD Online 24/7. Our support does not end there – you will also get a personal tutor from day one to advise you on how to develop the skills needed for your course. Find out more about our support on pages 18 and 19.
