Frequently asked questions

We have answered some common questions you may have about studying at ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºse.

Can I study part time?

Yes. We offer our MSc programme in both a part time mode and a modular flexible mode.

What is the difference between part time and modular flexible?

In a nutshell, part time study has to be completed within two years. It has a more structured programme for the student to follow.

Modular flexible has to be completed within five years, and gives the student more opportunity to work out a pattern of study that suits their needs and life style. It tends to be more suitable for those in full time employment whilst undertaking the MSc.

UK part time students may be eligible to apply for student loans.

We have provided some more informationÌýabout studying part time/modular flexiblyÌýon the programme pages.

Can I get a student loan?

Full time and part time UK based students may be eligible to apply for student loans, but modular flexible students are not.

You can find more information on the ¹û¶³Ó°Ôº funding page.
