Undergraduate study options at CU Coventry

Full-time courses

If you choose full-time study, you'll have fixed teaching hours each week. It is a mix of face-to-face teaching, independent and online learning, and tutorials.

Part-time study

If you choose part-time study, you might have more time between classes. You will also study independently and receive online support.

Accelerated degree

You could complete an accelerated degree, which is studying a regular degree at a faster pace. For example, you could complete it in two years with six blocks each academic year depending on which CU location you choose to study. 

Degrees with foundation years

Degrees with foundation years are undergraduate degree programs that include an additional year of study at the start. The foundation year is designed to give you the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in your chosen subject.

Foundation year

A foundation year is an extra year at the start of a degree course. It is an introduction to the subject you’re interested in and is aimed at helping you develop the necessary skills for a degree study. On completion, you could continue to a full degree course.

Access to Higher Education

An Access course is equivalent to A-Levels. It could help you learn study skills and subjects of interest, as well as build confidence. Completing an access course successfully can lead to progress onto a relevant degree course at CU Coventry, subject to meeting specific entrance criteria.
