University-Level Prospectus | BA HONS DEGREES


BA HONOURS DEGREES


Our BA Honours Degree programme, awarded by the University of Plymouth, contains four different pathways: Business, Childhood Studies, Health and Social Care and Creative Industries. To enter the BA Honours programme (often referred to as the ‘top up’) you will have completed a foundation degree in a relevant subject.


The award will develop your career and you will have many opportunities to apply your study to real work situations. The majority of modules will be studied by all students, on all four pathways, but you will tailor your projects to suit the pathway you are following.


We are incredibly proud of our BA Hons graduates, many of whom have gone on to post-graduate study, to qualify as teachers and social workers, develop their own businesses and progress in their roles as graduate employees.


“As part of the Professional Development degree you get to work with students from all different areas. For me, this was one of the best parts of the programme, as you got to see things from a different perspective and everyone was able to bring something different to the table.”
