Part-time Higher Education

If full-time study doesn’t suit your lifestyle, work commitments or personal circumstances, why not take a look at our part-time courses, including:

Foundation Certificates

From September 2009, Myerscough College will once again be offering a range of part-time Higher Education Foundation Certificates. These innovative courses will allow students to choose six individual modules of interest to them from a larger portfolio of titles. It is anticipated that the modules will be completed over a period of between 18 months and two years. Some modules will be available for online study and others offered on a day class, evening class or weekend basis to fit around your other commitments. We currently offer:

Foundation Certificate Agriculture and Countryside
Foundation Certificate Animal Studies
Foundation Certificate Equine Studies
Foundation Certificate Creative Design
Foundation Certificate Plant Studies
Foundation Certificate Machinery Management
Foundation Certificate Sports (Football), (Golf)

Many of the modules will be derived from those studied on the equivalent full-time degree programmes, though some will be designed as unique stand-alone options for part-time students only. All the Foundation Certificates have been developed to enable students to achieve a recognised qualification by selecting those modules relevant to their own personal interests or their future career aspirations.

Higher Education Single Study Modules

Myerscough College has developed an exciting portfolio of more than 50 Higher Education single study modules - across our entire subject range. Many of these modules are derived from those undertaken on the equivalent full-time degree programmes. They can either be studied for personal interest or as part of a Continued Professional Development (CPD) scheme for employment or membership of an organisation.  (A single 20 credit module will normally equate to approximately 60 hours of CPD.)

The modules provide a unique opportunity for part-time flexible study at Higher Education level, allowing you to mix and match modules from our well-established Foundation Degrees to meet your needs. You can select individual modules or combinations of modules depending on timetable availability (up to a maximum of four full modules in any one academic year.)

Subjects Available:
Sport and Sportsturf
Plants and Trees
General and Business Studies
Floral Design
Equine Studies
Animal Studies
Agriculture and Countryside
