Our Approach to Learning

Pearson students experience a new approach to learning, where every aspect of the programme resonates with the contemporary business environment. It's not just what you study but how. Balancing the academic with the employer perspective is embedded into every aspect of the programme. Our aim is that our students graduate with the most well rounded knowledge and competencies to progress through their lives.

A Choice of Study Modes for Full-time Students

Full-time students can take the three year mode, which allows you to progress at the same pace as a traditional university, enjoying a long summer break each year. Alternatively, you can take advantage of our two-year mode and accelerate over the summer and graduate in only two years. Study is rigorous, intensive and fast-paced. With both modes the embedded career development ensures you'll graduate with a wide set of highly desirable and transferable skills, which will help you to develop the career you want.

An Accelerated Four-year Mode for Part-time Students

Most part-time business degrees take six years, but at Pearson we offer a specially designed four-year mode. This enables you to combine work and study on a flexible programme that means you can graduate quickly, taking only one year longer than a typical full-time course. Additionally, by taking advantage of our "pay as you progress" option and given our reasonable fees, you can graduate with a business degree with greatly reduced or even no student debt.

Resources

We use technology wherever we can in the course to enhance your learning experience and ensure you can study when it suits you. We provide an online campus for you that is populated with e-books, e-lectures, case studies, videos, exercises and assessments. These tools enable the programme to be ultra flexible, allowing you to learn wherever and whenever you can outside of face to face time. The communication tools in the online campus mean you can work with other students, tutors and experts located across the country.
