Start your course in January
Start your degree outside the traditional academic year with our range of January start dates, a flexible alternative to pursue your academic and career goals.
How January starts work
Our January-entry courses, many of which are professionally accredited, are designed with flexibility in mind. They're ideal if you're working, have personal commitments, or just need a schedule that works for you.
A January start is perfect if:
- You began a course elsewhere in September, but realised it’s not the right fit;
- You took a few months out and are ready to return to study;
- Your plans or circumstances have changed unexpectedly;
- You’ll study the same content as students who started in September.
By the second year (if your course includes one), you’ll have caught up and will graduate alongside your peers.
