Types of undergraduate degrees
There is lots of jargon to understand when applying for an undergraduate degree at university. One of the most frequently asked questions we get is around the different types of awards attached to undergraduate courses.
There are many different types of undergraduate degrees. We offer bachelor's degrees, with awards such as BA (Bachelor of Arts) or BSc (Bachelor of Sciences) and integrated master's degrees, with awards such as MSci (Master in Science) or MEng (Master in Engineering). These can have differing lengths and the exact award can depend on your chosen subject.
We've compiled a comprehensive list of the different qualifications we offer below.
Bachelor's degrees
Bachelor's degrees are most commonly studied as your first university degree. They are undergraduate programmes designed to give you a thorough understanding of your chosen subject area and prepare you to step into a professional career. Most bachelor's degrees are three-year courses, although many students add an additional year studying abroad or undertaking an industrial placement.
Integrated master's degrees
Integrated master's degrees combine bachelor's and master's study into a single undergraduate programme. Typically completed over four to five years, they are designed to give you a comprehensive education in your subject area and provide you with an edge when going into a professional career.
