Learn a single subject
Ever thought about single subject study? It's a way of studying one or two subjects without committing to a full degree.
Studying a single subject (or two) is perfect if you're:
- returning to study
- preparing for a career change
- need some professional development
- taking the first steps toward your degree.
You'll be part of the class, like everyone else.
You'll study the same course material, and get to interact with your lecturers and classmates online.
Most single subjects are open entry, so you can enrol and start learning right away.
What's more, your subject will count toward a related full degree if you decide to pursue it later. It's a win-win.
