Part-time, distance learning and short courses
At GCU London, we believe that university is for everyone but that for many of us, full-time study just isn't a practical option.
That's why we offer flexible, part-time study and distance learning courses with a wide range of funding options to help you achieve in your chosen area.
Part-time students at GCU London benefit from all the great facilities and opportunities that the university has to offer but can fit their studies around other commitments.
Our part-time courses are two years long, although there is a possibility of expanding the degree to three years. You'll typically attend the University campus for two days a week, with the modules chosen for your course split between your years of studying. The modules open to you will depend on the course you have chosen.
Our part-time courses are designed to be flexible so our Programme Leaders will often contact you to work on how to structure your course so that you get the maximum benefit from your studies.
Please note that we only accept applications from international students who are currently in the UK on a Tier 2 Visa and are sponsored by either your employer or on a Dependent Visa. As per UKVI requirements, we are not able to sponsor students on a Tier 4 Visa for part-time courses.
