The two-year, full time course requires one day a week studying at the University Centre, combined with one day a week in a work placement, or employment in the sector. Study groups are also small in size to allow delivery of high quality, personal one to one support and completing it provides a stepping stone to a one-year top-up Honours Degree with the University of Cumbria for those students looking at a future as a solicitor.

January starts are also available for the BEng top-up Honours Degree, one of the most industry-relevant Engineering qualifications of its kind. The course has been created with extensive consultation with a number of leading local engineering companies and it is designed around challenging students to think on their feet to develop advanced problem-solving skills to overcome issues that they could very realistically face working in a demanding engineering environment.
