Part-time Study
Whether you are new to higher education or are thinking about returning to study, the University of Aberdeen has the study solution for you. We offer a broad spectrum of postgraduate programmes which draw high quality teaching and knowledge together to ensure your part-time experience is the equal of that of our full-time students.
Part-time learning is the ideal path for an increasing number of people, both in the workplace or in the home. Learning can take many forms, from day-release, evening or weekend classes to distance learning using the University's virtual learning environment to allow you to study from anywhere in the world at times suitable for you.
All of our postgraduate programmes are also available for part-time study by allowing you to take individual courses as you are able.
In addition, we have the following postgraduate programmes specifically structured to promote part-time learning. Each of these lead to a full postgraduate qualification:
