Conversion courses: pursue a new passion
The great thing about some of our distance learning degrees is that they are conversion courses.
A conversion course is an intensive postgraduate degree programme that enables you to study an entirely different subject to the one that you studied at undergraduate level.
This makes them a great option if you are unsure of what career you might want to pursue after graduation or if you are interested in moving into a new discipline.

Multiple start dates
The flexible nature of our distance learning courses means that many of them are available for you to start at multiple points throughout the year.
