undertaken

a large number of the full-time degree courses offered by universities and
colleges can also be undertaken on a part-time basis, allowing you to fit your
study around other commitments.
financial arrangements for part-time courses are different to those for full-time
study and you should contact the relevant funding body for your area to establish
what financial help may be available (student finance scotland. is one of the bestknown
provider of part-time and distance learning, but most of the uk's
universities also offer alternatives to full-time study.
ucas do not offer a central admissions service for part-time courses, so
applications for part-time courses must be made directly to the relevant
institution.
you should also contact the university or college direct to find out about
vacancies, entry requirements and to discuss fees and funding.
degree apprenticeships are a relatively new initiative. the aim of a degree
apprenticeship is, as the name suggests, to combine the academic aspects of a
university degree with the practical experience and application of an
apprenticeship.
although they are primarily targeted at school leavers aged 18-19, degree
apprenticeships are also suitable for 16 to 18-year-olds and mature students,
including those who have already completed a lower-level apprenticeship and
wish to enhance their career prospects through further study.
as with other apprenticeships, the training costs and student fees will be covered
by the government and your employer. degree apprentices are not eligible for
student loans, and you must therefore cover your own living costs. however, with
the opportunity to earn up to £500 per week as part of the scheme, you will be
receiving financial support of some form.
the majority of degree apprenticeships focus on stem subjects (science,
technology, engineering and mathematics), however there are others available.
