Part-Time Students

If you are going to be studying part time on campus, you will be receiving a copy of the Step-by-Step guide for part time students. (PDF, file size: 511.12KB)

If you are going to be studying at one of our partner institutions in the UK you will be able to access a variety of University resources online to help you with your studies. For more detailed information please see the Partnerships Need to Know guide.
