Course summary

By studying a Professional Studies degree, you will gain a qualification grounded in the skills that employers value in professional roles today. Designed with the world of work in mind, this course is particularly relevant if you can bring work experience to your studies. You will learn about key contemporary issues such as globalisation, diversity, and technology. The course content is developed to apply to the world of work and encompasses professional and project strands which focus on skills relevant to employers. You can choose to specialise in a particular area of professional development:

  • business management
  • child and family studies
  • learning and teaching
  • creative writing
The course allows you to fit study alongside your work and family commitments. You’ll be taught by friendly and supportive staff, experienced in working with adult learners and with substantial professional experience. There is the opportunity to extend your studies through either a year in industry or a year abroad, where you can gain valuable skills and experience for career development. We know that many mature and part-time students face unique challenges including balancing academic study with family and employment commitments. For that reason, the Lifelong Learning Centre provides specialised guidance, advice, and support to mature and part-time students, from pre-application through to graduation and beyond.
