Learning from work
This route allows you to draw upon experience gained through existing work (paid or unpaid) for academic credit.
We will help you use your work, including running your own business, to build a bank of skills that you can use to impress employers when you graduate. At the same time you will become more aware of how you’re contributing to your existing workplace and how you can illustrate your value to employers.
