Wajeeh Abbas, who lives in Saudi Arabia, studied for a BA (Hons) Business Studies online degree with the University of Derby.

Wajeeh had a full time job as a Procurement and Purchasing Officer, his decision to study online, rather than on campus, was down to the flexibility online study offered. He said: “Studying online appealed to me because it gives busy working professionals, such as myself, the flexibility to fit study around a job. I did not want to give up working to attend university full time so online study meant I was able to gain a degree qualification without having to.” “ The University of Derby offered the modules I was interested in, a competitive fees package, easy access to course materials and plenty of tutor support.

It was also the only UK university that was directly affiliated with the Saudi Community Institute in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This meant the Institute was able to provide me with initial help and support in terms of my registration and course management with

Derby – making the process of getting started even easier. “ This particular degree equipped me with a sound understanding of the core concepts of business and its applications and should really benefit me professionally. It has definitely improved my time management skills and this, combined with having an academic qualification, will help me to stand out in the competitive job market. “ Being a virtual learner was a fairly unique experience – it is fantastic that I was able to obtain a professional degree by using modern technology and assistance from tutors and educational resources that were all provided online. I would certainly recommend online study with the University of Derby to busy working professionals who are not able to study on campus or full time due to other commitments.” ajeeh Abbas, W BA (Hons) Business Studies graduate

We support you all the way Award winning International Student Centre

International Student Centre (ISC) The ISC is available to help you adjust to living and studying in the UK. We can help you with your issues or concerns in many areas including British culture, immigration, your student visa, finance, working and adapting to life in the UK, and personal and welfare problems. We have experienced international support staff trained to provide the care you need whilst you study in a different country.

Our ISC was voted ‘the best in the country’ by our own international students in the International Student Barometer. This means that you can expect excellent support and guidance during your time with us. The ISC offer a free meet and greet service from the airport and arrange trips in the UK throughout the year.

Supporting your academic success Your personal tutor will offer their help whenever you need it. They take a genuine interest in your progress and will challenge and support you. Our small class sizes mean we can offer you a supportive learning environment and lots of study advice.

Visa support If you are a national of a European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland, you do not need a visa to study. If you are from any other country then you will need to apply for permission to study in the UK. There are different visas available. You will need a Tier 4 (General) visa if you are coming to the UK to study a full-time course for more than six months. You can only study on a Tier 4 visa with an institution that has a Tier 4 Sponsor Licence and is a Highly Trusted Sponsor, such as the University of Derby.

A Student Visitor visa is needed if you are studying a course that is less than six months long or you are studying an English language course that is less than 11 months long.

We have a dedicated Visa and Immigration Adviser who is available for students to contact before, during or after their course. Please send an email to: visa@derby.ac.uk to find out more.

Supporting your wellbeing Going to university is not just about your studies. There are lots of other things to think about, especially for international students. Moving to another country, a new currency, a different language, a different style of learning and a new culture are all things that may affect you.

For a lot of students this is their first time living away from home, so you may find that you are not only adjusting to being a new student but to living independently too.

Registering with the police Many visas require you to register with the police. This is something that we can help you to do so that you can concentrate on your studies.

Supporting your finances The International Student Centre offers advice with all elements of finances. They are available to help you find a bank account, fill in forms and give you financial guidance as well as help with budgeting.

You will stand out in the job market, have access to grants, receive tuition fee support and improve your English language skills. The Erasmus+ Programme is an excellent opportunity to study a range of subject areas and experience living elsewhere.

Supporting your faith Our chaplains and faith advisers represent our diverse multicultural community. They work across both campuses and host talks and discussion groups, Fairtrade lunches and days out.

www.derby.ac.uk/international Online fees for international students Please check our website for the latest information on fees for online courses: www.derby.ac.uk/online.

Fees and funding

If you pay your fees in full by enrolment you will receive a £500 discount on all courses – except the International Foundation Programme – as long as the full undergraduate fees are paid.

We have different course fees for our EU and International students.

EU students Our approach to tuition fees is simple. The fee reflects the actual cost and we include all the essential equipment and activities for your degree. That means they are covered by your student loan and you do not have to find additional cash during the year for anything other than your living expenses.

On campus fees for EU students We have two fee categories which reflect the actual costs of delivering our different types of courses:  Classroom-based courses: £8,500 per year These courses are delivered in a lecture theatre or seminar room and do not involve any specialist facilities or equipment.  Resource intensive courses: £9,000 per year These courses use more resources so we reflect this in the tuition fee, which means they are covered by your student loan.

If you have any questions about the cost of your course or any of the other costs associated with

studying in the UK, please contact our International Student Advisers by calling: 00 44 1332 591 698 or sending an email to: international@derby.ac.uk.

Online fees for EU students Please check our website for the latest information on fees for online courses: www.derby.ac.uk/online Bursaries EU students may be eligible for a bursary if you are:  a full time EU student  your household’s income is less than £15,000 per annum In these cases, you could receive a bursary of £500. You will need to apply for the bursary at the same time as you apply to the Student Finance Services European Team for a loan to cover your tuition fees. You need to submit an EU14B form to apply for bursaries but if you do not have one, please call: 00 44 141 243 3570 to ask for one.

International students The fee reflects the actual cost of delivering the course and we include all the essential equipment and activities for your degree. This means that you will not have to find additional cash during the year for anything other than your living expenses.

On campus fees for international students Again, we have two fee categories which reflect the actual cost of delivering the different types of courses:  Classroom-based courses: £10,445 per year These courses are delivered in a lecture theatre or seminar room and do not involve any specialist facilities or equipment.  Resource intensive courses: £10,725 per year These courses use more resources so we reflect this in the tuition fee.

Scholarships We have a number of merit-based scholarships available for our international students to apply for when you have received an offer from us. These are £1,000 and are available for anyone who is a full time student from outside the EU that is in their first year of study at the University of Derby.

All figures quoted may be subject to change.

www.derby.ac.uk/international Study options

Courses that fit around your life We have a wide range of courses designed to meet your needs and career aspirations.

We can offer you flexible study options:  Full-time Fully immerse yourself in university life  Part-time Fit your course around your work or family commitments  Online learning Study anywhere at anytime Not ready for an honours degree?

If you are an international student and do not have the qualifications or English language skills to start a degree, our International Foundation Programme will give you a recognised qualification so that you can move onto an undergraduate degree in subjects such as art and design, business, engineering, events management and tourism, law and technology.

The programme will help you to develop the English and academic skills that you will need during your degree. You will study alongside other international students in a friendly and supportive environment and our tutors will help you to develop your skills.

You will study full-time which is 15 or more hours of class per week plus self-study for two semesters. If you start the course in September you will finish in June and have the usual academic Christmas and Easter holiday breaks. If you start the course in January, you will finish at the end of July. This is because the course that starts in January is a fast-track option and you will only have two weeks' holiday at Easter.

If you want to start the programme in September, you will need to have completed your secondary school education and have a minimum IELTS of 4.5 or equivalent overall.

In order to meet new visa requirements, you must have a minimum of IELTS 4.0 (or equivalent) in listening, reading, speaking and writing.

To start the programme in January, you will need to have completed your secondary school education and have a minimum of IELTS of 5.0 or equivalent overall, with a minimum of 4.5 (or equivalent) in listening, reading, speaking and writing.

Pre-sessional English courses If you want to improve your English language skills before you start an undergraduate degree course, our pre-sessional English courses can help you to:  achieve the entry level for your degree course  improve your confidence, listening, presentation, reading, research and writing skills  make friends before starting your degree course

Placements This is a very popular option with international and EU students because it means that you can gain UK work experience as part of your course. We are developing more courses to include placements and internships.

The full-time course lasts either five, ten or fifteen weeks depending on the level of English required by your degree.

Ready for a bachelors degree?

Sometimes called first degrees, these lead to qualifications such as:  BA (Hons) for arts related courses  BEd (Hons) leads to Qualified Teacher Status  BEng (Hons) for engineering courses  BSc (Hons) for science-based courses  LLB (Hons) which is a law degree

At the end of the course, we will assess your listening, reading, speaking and writing. If you successfully complete these assessments, you can move on to your chosen degree course and you will not need to take another IELTS test.

How you will study Teaching includes dissertation supervision sessions, group tutorials, lectures, online taught sessions, personal tutorials, practical sessions, seminars and workshops. Your personal tutor will give you their help and support.

English Language courses You will learn a full range of English language skills, including grammar, listening, pronunciation, reading, speaking, vocabulary and writing. These will be taught in small groups so that you can receive lots of help and support from our teachers.

You will develop an in-depth knowledge of each subject, while enhancing your research and problem solving skills by working on projects with other students.

Foundation courses A foundation degree (FdA, FdSc or FdEng) combines academic skills with practical experience. It is a qualification in its own right, but you can use it to top-up to a BA (Hons), BSc (Hons) or BEng (Hons) degree with one more year of full-time study.

Top-ups If you have a qualification that is equivalent to a HND (Higher National Diploma) or Foundation Degree you might be able to top up your qualification and progress onto the final year of study and achieve a full Honours degree.

If you already have appropriate qualifications, you can apply for direct entry to the second or third stage of many of our bachelors degrees.

Taking your degree and masters at the same time Our MDes courses in Animation, Illustration and Graphic Design are combined undergraduate and postgraduate degrees so you will graduate with a masters degree. This means that you do not have to relocate for a separate postgraduate degree.

www.derby.ac.uk/international One degree, two subjects

Joint Honours Scheme rsity of I chose The Unive le to ab s wa I as rby De ions for ss pa my combine sh.

History and Engli

A Joint Honours degree gives you the opportunity to study two subject areas from a wide range of disciplines.

Eleanor Walsh

This approach will help you with skills such as organisation and adaptability which will put you ahead in the graduate job market.

You can study two subjects equally, or some combinations allow you to specialise in one subject and compliment it with another; for example you could major in Marketing and minor in Business Management.

Our Joint Honours students have their own dedicated administration centre so you will have access to support, guidance, and advice before and during your studies.

Why choose a Joint Honours degree?  Many of our degrees are professionally accredited, which is a hallmark of quality.

This means your qualification will be highly regarded by potential employers, putting you one step ahead of the field as you embark on your chosen career  You can gain invaluable skills in our fantastic real world learning facilities. Our superb training facilities include a full size crown court, a family courtroom and our own working theatre; Derby Theatre.

In addition, our sophisticated sport and

exercise equipment is regularly used by elite sports teams for testing performance, movement, health and fitness  Even in defined careers you will find that you will need to develop skills and knowledge across a variety of disciplines.

So for example, if you are aiming to work in accountancy, a robust business knowledge base could support your career ambitions.

Employers value the development of broader skills and knowledge to supplement a sound theoretical knowledge base; our joint honours scheme meets this need perfectly  As a Joint Honours student you will develop the skill of recognising the links between different disciplines. Some of the most important research in the world takes place at the junction between different subjects, so if a career in research interests you, you will be well equipped to carry this out How do I apply?

Your UCAS code will depend on the combination of subjects you choose. Please check your UCAS code at: www.ucas.com

You may combine any two subjects as long as they are in different zones.
