Our Work Based Distance Learning framework has been developed over the course of twenty years and aims to satisfy the study needs of people who are in full time employment within a relevant payroll environment. The work-based teaching and learning strategy allows students to apply their payroll context to different management theory areas throughout the sequentially completed modules.
Students can develop academic skills sets to help them to navigate the course. There will also be opportunities to build tools and techniques for them to utilise in their careers.
Modules are delivered largely through an online learning approach. Learning is primarily independent, with students being guided to appropriate resources. However, there will be online seminars to facilitate discussions, as well as lecture materials and directed reading.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.

In addition to the information provided on this course page, our What You Need to Know page offers explanations on key topics including programme validation/revalidation, additional costs, contact hours, and our return to face-to-face teaching.

APEL
It is expected that some students will join the programme with RPL at level 5. Although RPL students will be armed with the skills they need to study provision is made, through open access materials, to offer additional support in the realms of study skills. The APEL process is listed below.
The University's policy relating to the APEL will be followed which permits applicants to gain exemption from specific modules within a level of a programme where the learning has previously been gained either through achievement of:
• Certificated learning such as professional award for which they have evidence of the learning outcomes, or through
Experiential learning which may include uncertificated learning, and/or learning gained from undertaking their work, including unpaid work. As the student may not have gained a formal qualification in respect of this learning, they will required to produce appropriate evidence demonstrating achievement of learning which will be mapped against learning outcomes.
Going to university is a life-changing step and it's important to understand the costs involved and the funding options available before you start. A full breakdown of the fees associated with this programme can be found on our course fees pages.
For eligible undergraduate students going to university for the first time, scholarships and bursaries are available to help cover costs. To help support students from outside of the UK, we are also delighted to offer a number of international scholarships which range from £1,000 up to the value of 50 per cent of tuition fees.
