Single Subject
Our single subject study is a flexible option that lets you choose one or two subjects without committing to a full degree. It's ideal if you're returning to study, preparing for a career change or professional development, or even if you're taking the first steps toward your degree.
You will study the same course material as students studying the full degree and have the same opportunities to interact with other students and lecturers in a supportive online learning environment. Most single subjects are open entry, so you can enrol and start learning right away, and your subjects will count toward a related full degree if you decide to pursue it later.
