Apply for part-time study

For part-time study, you should apply directly to the University, not through UCAS.

What can I study part-time?

Part-time students usually study one or two courses per year.

The number of classes each week varies according to the degree but is normally about four classes each week.

It will take you between five and eight years to complete a BD Divinity or MA Religious Studies degree.
