Overview
Do you want to enhance your job performance and your future chances by studying for a degree while working full-time?
You’ll learn transferable skills in your chosen field on this Professional Studies Learning at Work program. You may customize the course to meet your professional and personal goals, as well as the goals of your company.
If a degree course in the topic you wish to study isn’t accessible, a professional studies course is an excellent alternative. A BA (Hons) degree will be awarded if your studies are connected to art or business. If the topic is connected to science, you will receive a BSc (Hons) degree.
Because the course is work-based, you must be employed full-time, part-time, or volunteer to complete it. You may study wherever is most convenient for you and arrange your studies around your existing commitments since the method you learn is flexible.
You’ll be able to immediately apply the skills you’ve learned in your career, contributing to the company’s success. You’ll boost your employment possibilities and have the skills and knowledge to perform better at work once you’ve completed the course.
The first two years – L4 & L5 will be delivered by C3S Business School in Barcelona, Spain, and will be awarded by OTHM(UK) and C3S Business School.
Final year top-up degree of BA (Hons) Professional Studies (LEARNING AT WORK) will be delivered and awarded by University of Portsmouth, UK
The final year top-up isn’t tied to the University’s timetables or academic calendar. So you can work at your own pace, in your own time and in your own location. However, you must complete the course within 8 years.
You can complete the course more quickly if you have relevant work experience or qualifications that you can put towards your degree, such as a business-based Foundation degree, HNC, HND or relevant on-the-job training. This is known as Recognised Prior Learning (RPL). You can use RPL for up to 240 of the 360 credits you need to accumulate to get your degree.
