Full & Part-time Courses

Full-time Courses
Following extensive consultation with the rural industries the Rural Business School has developed a range of innovative Foundation Degree (FdSc) courses, awarded by Plymouth University. These are delivered in individual modules which you can take separately or together, to build a full foundation degree. The programmes give you tremendous flexibility with full-time, part-time or the modular approach, and all are designed to relate directly to industry.

When taken full-time, a foundation degree takes 2 years to complete. When studied part-time the course usually takes 4 years. These foundation degree courses can be topped-up to full honours degrees, with a further year of study.

Grants and scholarships are available for some courses. Please contact us for further information.

Part-time Courses
We run a wide range of part-time and short courses where you will gain a recognised qualification. The length of the course and the amount of hours study per week vary. Many are flexible and can be studied at a location convenient to students. Please contact us for further information about part-time study.
