Part time students

Flexible study

There are many reasons to consider studying part-time -- work commitments, family responsibilities or just a preference for working at a slower pace. It can also be a more affordable way to access higher education.

There are thousands of students studying part-time at Worcester, from short bites of learning right through to degree and postgraduate qualifications. Our courses are designed to be flexible. If you want to vary the amount of time you spend studying from year to year, or even take a break for a while, you can.

Most part-time students people studying for an undergraduate degree normally take between 4 and 7 year to complete the course.

Although some professional courses, including Nursing and Midwifery, require full-time study, the majority of our programmes can be studied part-time. Explore the complete list of courses available to study part-time.

It has been a breath of fresh air to be doing something challenging. I'm studying part-time and have now done four years out of five and I love it. Chris Part-time student

Balance work and study

If you want, or need, to work while studying, then part-time study is the ideal way to balance your time. Work that ties in with your qualification can also give you relevant work experience that can help put you ahead when it comes to getting further up the career ladder.

Support for part time students

As a part time student, you will enjoy all the advantages and support of being a full-time student, such as access to academic and sporting facilities, student services and the Careers Advisory Service.
