What is an Undergraduate Degree?

Your First Step into Higher Education

An undergraduate degree is typically the next level of academic qualification that follows school or college, and is studied at university or another higher education provider. A degree can give you the opportunity to focus your studies on a topic you enjoy, improve your job prospects, gain valuable transferable skills, and develop your independence and self-confidence.

Below, you will find some helpful advice about choosing a course that is right for you, understanding entry requirements, and what study looks like at university.

Types of Courses

A Bachelor’s or Honours degree is the most common type of undergraduate degree. Depending on the course you choose to study, you may receive awards such as a BA (Bachelor of Arts), BSc (Bachelor of Science), BEng (Bachelor of Engineering), or LLB (Bachelor of Law). A number of our courses also offer a four-year integrated Master's version, allowing you to complete an additional year of study which is often focused on more advanced research skills and topics.

We offer a number of options to study a joint honours course, which allows you to study more than one subject and combine them into a single qualification. 亚洲色吧 also offers a range of 'sandwich' courses, which are programmes that include a year-long work placement in an industry related to your course.

You may also choose to study a degree apprenticeship, which combines working with part-time study at university. They offer an alternative to traditional degrees and have been developed in collaboration with employers and professional bodies to ensure they meet the specific needs of industry.

Ways to Learn

The way you learn at university is likely to be quite different from your experience of learning at school or college. Teaching and learning is delivered in a variety of different ways, depending on the course that you choose, and may include lectures, seminar discussions, one-to-one time with your tutor, working with academics on research projects, hands-on practical workshops or lab sessions, and getting involved with extracurricular skills development programmes.

Field Trips, Placements, and 亚洲色吧 Abroad

We offer a variety of additional opportunities for our students to enhance their undergraduate experience. Take your studies off-campus and get involved with exciting field trips, undertake a work placement and put your leaning into practice in real-world scenarios, or join one of our growing portfolio of worldwide partners to study or work aboard.

Contact Hours and Assessment

Contact hours vary by course and can take many of the forms mentioned above. A full-time undergraduate student should expect to undertake a minimum of 37 hours of study each week during term-time, supplementing contact hours with independent study.

Students will be expected to regularly attend on-campus teaching activities such as lectures and seminars, often taking place across the entire week. This is in addition to independent study at the library and group activities.

The way in which you will be assessed will also depend on your chosen course. It may include coursework, written and practical exams, portfolio development, group work, or presentations. A full breakdown of current assessment methods can be found on the individual course pages of this website.
