Some of our bachelors are available as four year degrees and are structured to include three years of study as well as a year abroad or in industry. Typically these are 'sandwiched' between years 2 and 3 of study.

This brings the total time at university to four years, but means that you graduate not only with a prestigious academic degree, but also fantastic experience of life in another country or working in business (either of which will be highly valued by future employers).

Dual and joint degrees are unique opportunities for students to study at two institutions, with time typically split evenly between campuses. Students benefit from world-renowned experience and expertise in two outstanding institutions while gaining an insight into life in two cities.

A fantastic opportunity to study for a higher level of qualification than a bachelor's degree. Many of our degrees in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences, and Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine are available as both three year bachelor's or as four year MSci or MEng courses. If you choose the four year option, you will study full time for four years, and attain a higher level of qualification after pursuing a research project in your fourth year.
