Qualifications to suit your goals

Undergraduate degrees

An undergraduate degree is a bachelor-level academic qualification. It corresponds to levels 4-6 on the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).

A wide range of subjects are available to study as an undergraduate degree. You’ll study a typical undergraduate degree for three years.

We teach a number of bachelor’s honours degrees with titles including:

  • Bachelor of Arts (BA)
  • Bachelor of Science (BSc)
  • CertHE (Certificate of Higher Education)

Postgraduate degrees

A postgraduate degree is a course you can study once you've achieved your undergraduate degree. This qualification is a good option if you want to specialise in your field or progress in your career. Taught postgraduate degrees are level 7 on the QCF.

We offer taught postgraduate degrees and research postgraduate degrees which can be studied both full and part-time. You can even learn online and study a distance learning course.

Examples of taught postgraduate degrees include:

  • Master of Science (MSc)
  • Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Foundation degrees

Foundation degrees combine academic study with practical skills and often include work-based learning. They correspond to levels 4 and 5 on the QCF. After studying this type of degree, you could 'top-up' to a full honours degree if you wish to progress.

Many of our foundation degree courses are taught at partner colleges, such as East Durham College.

Examples of taught Foundation degrees include:

  • Foundation Degree in Arts (FdA)
  • Foundation Degree in Science (FdSc)

Top-up courses

A top-up degree is your way of taking your knowledge and experience to the next level. These courses will bring your Foundation degree or Higher National Diploma qualifications to a full honours degree.

  • BA (Hons) Accounting and Financial Management (top-up)
  • BA (Hons) Business Management and Entrepreneurship (top-up)
  • Master of Business Administration (60 credits)

A research degree is the highest-level qualification awarded by a university. Research degree students don't attend classes and complete modules, but instead work with a Director of Studies (academic supervisor) on an original research topic.

Research degrees are levels 7 and 8 on the QCF.

Examples of research postgraduate degrees we offer include:

  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
