An undergraduate degree is the foundation for your future. It’s a thorough grounding in your chosen subject. You're an undergraduate student if you’re studying for your first degree – for example on a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc) course.


Many students opt for a full-time three-year course – but we also have some flexible study options where you attend a course on a part-time or distance learning basis. Another option is to build practical skills and proven experience on a paid placement year. It’s a great way to really test your new skills and knowledge, and you’ll make valuable workplace connections too.


We offer a diverse range of undergraduate courses, providing you with qualifications in engineering, technology, business, law, health and applied sciences, and art and the creative industries.
