Day release
Accredited Technology programmes are available to study part time this September
A range of Foundation degrees, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are available that can have a direct benefit to your company through projects which can be applied to real situations.
A more highly skilled workforce
Many local businesses are encouraging their staff to study with the University of Derby through its range of part time day release programmes, and are benefitting directly from employees boasting an extra level of ability, skills and knowledge.
Flexibility
You can study while you work, as all our courses have a blend of lectures and seminars, distance learning and block study. Most courses are taught one day per semester, by day release.
Saving valuable time
A foundation degree plus top-up to a full BEng (Hons) can be studied in as little as 3 ½ years, while full BEng (Hons) degrees can be studied over 5 years.
Competitive fees
Government loans to cover tuition fees are now available for undergraduate part time students. It’s also cheaper to study an undergraduate course part time.
Example:
BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering
- Full time: £7,495 per year x 3 years = £22,485 in total
- Part time: £935 per module x 18 modules over 5 years = £16,830 in total, a saving of £5,655
Foundation degrees
| Foundation degree | Duration of study | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| FdEng Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering | 2-3 years | £935 per module (12 modules in total) |
| FdEng Production Engineering | ||
| FdEng Civil Engineering | 3 years | |
| FdSc Construction | ||
| FdEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering | ||
| FdSc Architectural Design |
You can study some foundation degrees and the final year of the appropriate BEng or BSc Hons programme to top up a degree, in as little as 3 ½ years total ( 5 years for some subjects):
| BSc/BEng (Hons) degree | Duration of study | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering | 5 years | £935 per module (18 modules in total) |
| BEng (Hons) Manufacturing & Production Engineering | ||
| BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering | ||
| BSc (Hons) Civil Engineering | ||
| BEng (Hons) Civil & Infrastructure Engineering | ||
| BSc (Hons) Construction Management | ||
| BSc (Hons) Architectural Technology & Practice |
Postgraduate programmes
Our postgraduate programmes cover Technology, Arts and Humanities. They can be studied part time over 3 years, plus it’s more manageable to study a postgraduate course part time if you work.
Example:
MSc Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
- Full time: £495 per module x 9 modules x 1 year = £4,455
- Part time: £4,455 spread over 3 years of study = only £1,485 per year
It all adds up to a more manageable cost to fund, plus you can work while you study.
Available postgraduate Technology programmes:
| Masters degree | Duration of study | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| MSc Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering | 3 years | £495 per module (9 modules in total) |
| MSc Sustainable Design & Innovation | ||
| MSc Control & Instrumentation | ||
| MSc Civil Engineering & Construction Management | ||
| MSc Sustainable Architecture & Healthy Buildings | ||
| MSc Professional Engineering * |
* Professional Engineering is studied in-company, but some students may require additional taught learning which is identified at the beginning of the programme.
