Course duration

This course isn't tied to the University's timetables or academic calendar. So you can work at your own pace, in your own time and in your own location. However, you must complete the course within 8 years.

You can complete the course more quickly if you have relevant work experience or qualifications that you can put towards your degree, such as an Engineering Foundation degree, HNC, HND or relevant on-the-job training. This is known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). You can use RPL for up to 240 of the 360 credits you need to accumulate to get your degree.

We recommend you study modules worth 60 credits a year. Typically, a student who enters with the maximum RPL of 240 credits and has only 120 credits to study would take 18-24 months to complete the course.

When you finish the course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to advance your career with your current employer and boost your long-term career prospects.
