This means that a student could go from no formal qualifications to an Honours Degree in under 5 years. You can also select your own pace of study and can leave and rejoin the course as your personal circumstances dictate.

With the flexibility of being largely able to manage your own pace of study it is possible to progress from the HNC right through to the BA (Hons) degree in a minimum of four years. Alternatively, at the slowest pace, it would take 8 years to complete the same course.

The course is taught by experienced academic staff, many of whom have a background in industry. Their knowledge is invaluable in bringing this course to life and giving you the best balance of theory with practical application.

As a student with Southampton Solent University you will also have full access to our library resources, on-line journals and IT support, as well as career advice and guidance through our award winning Student 1st support service.

  • You will begin to repay your loan in the April which falls three years after the anniversary of the start date of your course, even if you are still studying.
  • You will only make repayments if you are earning over £21,000 a year.
  • If your course is shorter than three years, you will start to repay your loan from the April after you finish your course.
  • You only start to pay back your loan when you are earning over £21,000 a year, at a rate of 9% of your income above £21,000
