STUDY

We can offer you the flexibility to choose when in the year you want to start your studies, and depending on your qualifications, what entry point you are able to start your learning experience at.

Sian-Tyler Robson

Primary Education & Teaching Studies There are set morning or afternoon classes so studying fits around your work and social life easily. I work in the morning and study in the afternoon which is really convenient for me. I hate exams, I don’t do very well in them so I find no end of year exams perfect!

SELECT YOUR MODE

Work and family commitments often mean that not everyone can commit to a traditional full-time degree. We offer two study modes to help make our degrees accessible to as many people as possible.

Full-time If you choose to study full-time you can expect up to 20 hours of learning activities per week. The majority of this will be face-to-face teaching, with the addition of individual and group tutorials and independent/online learning.

Classes usually run Monday to Friday at a fixed time each day, either in the morning (9am-1pm) or afternoon (1.30pm-5.30pm).

Part-time If you choose to study part-time you’ll usually receive seven hours per week direct face-to-face delivery and three hours per week blended learning. Outside of this, there will also be independent study and online support1. Depending on the course, teaching normally takes place either 9am-5pm one day a week, or 6pm-10pm two evenings a week.

Beaches

You’re spoilt for choice in Scarborough with two main beaches, plus hidden sandy coves LEIGH to find and explore. South Bay has plenty of shops, restaurants and arcades, while the North Bay is all about relaxing, with colourful beach huts and laid-back cafés to enjoy hazy days. Music and entertainment

Summer is festival season in Scarborough and you’ll find music to suit every taste at Coastival, Staxtonbury and SeaFest. Nearby Dalby Forest hosts Forest Live concerts which have pulled in big names like George Ezra, Foals and Jess Glynne. The Open Air Theatre is the largest of its kind in Europe and Lewis Capaldi, Years & Years, Little Mix and Britney Spears have all played here in recent years. If comedy is your thing then the Spa is a prime entertainment venue, hosting comedy from the likes of Jimmy Carr, Rob Brydon and Henning Wehn. Scarborough is the ideal combination of coast, countryside and urban life. With a growing social scene, annual festivals and lots of independent cafés and restaurants, the only problem will be finding time to do everything.

As well as the main shopping centre which is home to some major high street stores, there’s an eclectic mix of independent boutiques, twice monthly farmers markets and local sellers’ fairs, so you can shop till you drop.

Cake and cats at Steampuss

Research has shown that stroking a cat can reduce stress and lower your blood pressure (maybe not so much if you’re allergic). For coffee, cake and furry feline friends, the Steampuss Cat Café can’t be beaten. Food and drinks at The Hideout

The Hideout is a café, kitchen and bar near Peasholm Park. Open seven days a week, it’s a perfect spot to meet up with friends.
