What is an undergraduate degree?
Undergraduate degrees are typically for students starting out in university life for the first time. They will normally be your first degree and follow on from completing your A Levels, BTECs, Level 3 NVQs or T Levels.
An undergraduate degree usually takes about three years to complete if you’re studying full-time, or five to six years if you’re studying part-time.
Some students opt to take a Foundation Year first. Our Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen honours degree programme. It involves an extra preliminary year of study which will help you get the skills you need.
Once you’ve graduated, you might also decide to explore a subject in more depth by taking on a postgraduate degree.
We work closely with leading employers across the North West to secure work experience opportunities for our students. It’s the reason why 95 percent of our graduates are in work or further education within six months*.*HESA Employment Performance Indicator 2018 (full-time, home-domiciled, first degree leavers)
