Fast track part time study

Helping you advance your career or pursue something different with a fast-track intensive degree

If you are working full-time but looking to reach the next step in your career, change careers altogether, or just finally earn a degree, we are here to support you.

We offer a range of fast-track degrees that can be studied on Saturdays or on 'day release' from your current employer, making it easier for you to fulfil your goals.

Throughout your studies, you will receive the same level of tutelage and support as a full-time degree student as well as enjoying access to the UWL's facilities.

How does it work?

  • Saturday Study classes take place on Saturdays throughout the academic year meaning you can balance your studies with other commitments.
  • Day-release courses combine work-based and university-based learning, a structure that allows you to complete the course in two years on day release (one day per week), while you are employed in the industry or gaining work experience.

Funding information

Please note that a Saturday study or Day-release course is classed as full-time study. This means that you are able to apply for a full-time student loan - find out further information at Student Finance. It may also affect your eligibility for state benefits.

After completing this course I have gained a wide range of knowledge related to business world that I can apply in my work today. During my course I was able to receive regularly  feedbacks on my performances that would keep me accountable. The course is structured in the manner that perfectly fit full-time working routine.  After successfully completing the course I have decided to continue my study with UWL in a masters programme, I have built a strong network that helped me to gain a strong access in different industries. Currently I’m pursuing the career in Project Management in IT.
