Our January start is available across most of our Science, Humanities, Social Science and Business courses.<br/><br/>**How will the course be taught?**<br/>Whilst still being a full-time course, our blended delivery model combines live teaching sessions - both online and on-campus - with self-directed study, enabling you to predominantly study at a time that suits your lifestyle.
