Your degree, your choice
On most of our undergraduate courses, you can choose to include work placements, study abroad, and optional units, helping you make the most of your degree.
Your first year of study gives you an introduction to your subject. On most of our courses, you can then choose from a range of optional modules as well as the core modules of your course.
You can choose from a range of modules you're most interested in and form your own path to complete your degree.
This flexibility allows you to specialise towards your chosen path and helps you get to where you want to go after university.

Study abroad
Learn new skills and experience living and studying at another university in a foreign country.
You don’t have to study a language to go abroad as part of your undergraduate degree. You can choose courses which offer you the opportunity to study in places like Argentina, France, and New Zealand.
Studying abroad is a great way to develop skills, learn a new language and have experiences that you will not get in the classroom.

Apply for a master's
You can choose to study for a bachelor’s degree and then apply to do a master’s or, for many courses, you can apply for an undergraduate master's straight away.
Studying for a master's gives you a more in-depth experience than the usual bachelor's course. You could study advanced taught units, do project work, or have greater exposure to research topics and methods.
Studying for a master’s degree can also lead to further industry accreditations which are recognised and highly valued by employers.
