2+2 Degree Programme This full-time programme is specifically designed for adults who lack formal qualifications and who wish to return to education. It offers an opportunity to study locally for a university degree and enhance career prospects. There is no access or foundation year: students on the 2+2 route have direct entry to a degree and are registered as Warwick students for all 4 years of the course. The first 2 years of the programme are taught at partner colleges, enabling students to gain confidence in coping with academic study, presentation skills and personal study skills in a local environment. This allows for a comfortable
transition into the final 2 years of the programme which are taught on the Warwick campus. The programme at college offers flexibility and a broad choice of subjects to explore, before committing students to a more specialised path at University which reflects interests which they have developed. Throughout their 4 years of study students are able to share all the benefits of student life at Warwick, including access to the University library, sports and social facilities. While students are based at their local college, study hours are usually between 9.30am and 3.30pm. Typically, up to 15 hours per week are scheduled as formal teaching time, backed by independent study. At University during the final 2 years, there will be 8 hours per week ‘contact time’ – 4 lectures and 4 accompanying seminars, each lasting one hour, although we always suggest that you should think in terms of 8-10 hours per week per subject for all aspects of studying.
