Progression

UCP degrees are divided into three or four years, depending on whether you are a full-time or part-time student. The first year provides a foundation in the chosen subject area. The second and third years build on the foundation, delving deeper into specific areas of interest and can involve optional modules to provide further specialisation.

All of our undergraduate degrees are validated by the Open University, providing both full and top-up courses to our students. Top-up degrees allow students to re-skill and update their current knowledge of their chosen industry.
