Undergraduate Study

Are you considering studying on a part-time basis to fit in with work or lifestyle and commitments?

Undertaking part-time study at the University of Ulster can lead to wider and more fulfilling career opportunities, enhanced future earnings and increased job security.

Ulster offers a wide range of high quality, part-time courses at undergraduate level.

You may wish to undergraduate part-time study for a variety of reasons:

to progress in your current career
to change career direction
to enter higher education for the first time or
for personal development

Whatever your motivation, our courses will equip you with the knowledge and skills to succeed in your ambitions. In addition, many of our programmes have the added benefit of offering additional professional accreditation routes.

Perhaps you are in your final year of school or college and considering your options – have you thought about part-time study?

Did you know that you can apply direct to Ulster for part-time courses and also apply for full-time courses via UCAS in the same year. This will enhance your options of studying in your chosen subject.

When studying part-time at University of Ulster you can be sure of the same, staff expertise, excellent support and facilities as all our full-time students. Many of our part-time students undertake classes with full-time students.

Part-time study can often have courses which are taught on our four campuses across Northern Ireland; by distance learning or ‘blended’ learning. Blended learning means some on-campus teaching combined with distance learning. This is designed to fit in with your lifestyle and commitments, putting you firmly in control of when and where you study.

Studying part-time also means the cost is spread over a longer period of time.

But is it the same as a full-time degree?

Yes. Whether undertaken as a full-time or part-time study the high-quality of courses and academic rigour and achievement expected of the student is the same. The only difference is the mode of study and the time taken to complete the course.
