PART-TIME STUDY AT KENT Studying part-time at Kent, whether you attend a short course or work towards a degree, whether you are learning for pleasure or studying to gain a qualification, you will find quality teaching, a friendly atmosphere and lots of support.

Every year, the University of Kent attracts thousands of part-time students, usually local people who work or live in the region.

We have students of all ages and backgrounds, each with their own reasons for wanting to study part-time.

We offer a variety of courses ranging from short courses to postgraduate programmes; some can be studied in order to gain academic credits and others purely for leisure.

Why do you want to study?

There are lots of ways you can study at Kent, and what you choose will depend on why you want to study. We have given three of the most popular reasons below along with some of our suggestions about what you might like to consider.

“I’d really like to inspire those who aren’t students yet – I’d say do it, do it, do it. I’ve never regretted it for one moment – the involvement and knowledge you get is worth every effort. I don’t think I’ll stop learning after this BA degree. Once you love studying, you can’t stop!”

CHOOSING HOW TO STUDY There are many different options available if you wish to study part-time, from courses purely for pleasure and interest to a complete undergraduate or postgraduate degree.

Open Lectures and college events The University has a wellestablished series of Open Lectures that has been running for over 40 years. They are hugely popular, cover a wide range of topics and are delivered by respected academics, politicians and other professionals. Lectures are free, open to all and no booking is required.

Short courses

Tizard Centre

If you want to extend your knowledge of a particular subject, or are simply curious to know more, a short course is a good choice for you. The short course programme is available at our Tonbridge centre during weekdays and evenings as well as some Saturdays. The programme includes lectures, study days and short courses of up to 12 weeks. Subjects vary but may include: • Art History • Classics • Creative Writing • Geology • History • Literature • Music • Philosophy • Psychology.

The Tizard Centre offers a range of programmes in Intellectual Disability, Autism and Community Care for individuals who would like to develop their professional practice and want to learn while working.

www.kent.ac.uk/part-time

As a part-time student, generally you will study 60 credits per year, which is 50% of a full-time programme. However this rate of study can vary, so please check your specific programme. You can study in stages – at certificate, diploma and degree level. The first two levels can be taken either as stand-alone programmes or as stepping stones to a degree.

Here, we explain how the three programmes are linked and how to progress through the levels.

Accumulating credits Our programmes are built up from smaller individual courses called modules. These modules are worth academic credits – usually 15 or 30, but sometimes more. Part-time students normally take 60 credits a year, although some subjects offer more flexible timetables. Each programme level is made up of 120 credits.

5

Stage 1: certificate level

Stage 3: degree level

Stage 1 is equivalent to the first year of a full-time degree. If you are studying part-time, this stage usually takes two years and involves studying certificate level modules totalling 120 credits. On successful completion, you are awarded a certificate.

Stage 3 is equivalent to the third year of a full-time degree. If you are studying part-time, this stage usually takes two years to complete and involves studying for a further 120 credits, taking higher level modules. After successfully completing this stage, you have a total of 360 credits and are awarded your degree.

Stage 2: diploma level Stage 2 is equivalent to the second year of a full-time degree. If you are studying part-time, this stage usually takes two years to complete and involves studying for a further 120 credits, taking intermediate level modules. On successful completion, you have a total of 240 credits and are awarded a diploma.

Achieving your award In order to earn any of the three levels of award, you must successfully pass all the assessments and attend a certain number of teaching hours. Methods of assessment vary, but generally use a combination of exams and coursework, while some include project work. A number of modules, especially those at certificate level, use continuous assessment with no examination. You are given further details about assessment at the start of your programme.

Most part-time students are not recent school leavers, so we try to take into account your work and life experiences and your personal interests, as well as any academic qualifications you may already have.

applications from adults who have no formal qualifications, provided they can demonstrate an interest in and an aptitude for their chosen subject. For instance, some programmes may ask you to provide evidence of your potential – for example, by producing a short piece of written work, to ensure that this is the appropriate starting point for you. You may also be invited for an informal interview.

Although individual programmes sometimes have specific requirements, here are some general guidelines for what is required for entry on to a certificate programme.

These entry requirements are set to help you to choose an appropriate level of study, and to indicate the level of work involved and whether prior knowledge is needed to support the successful completion of your studies.

Entry at certificate level A certificate programme (see p5) is the first stage of an undergraduate degree programme at Kent. Some certificate programmes accept

If the certificate programme you wish to study requires more specific entry qualifications, these can be gained in a number of ways:

You may be required to obtain particular grades in the credits allocated to particular subjects and/or be required to obtain a specified number of credits in particular subjects.

(See www.accesstohe.ac.uk for further information) • Two relevant A level passes or their equivalent can be used to gain entry to most certificate programmes, although most programmes will require minimum grades and for some programmes, one or more specified subjects at particular grades.

To check the specific entry requirements for a particular programme, please visit our website at www.kent.ac.uk/courses. If you are in any doubt about your own entry qualifications, you can call the Information and Guidance Unit for advice on 01227 827272 or email information@kent.ac.uk
