FREE Tasters

Taken from our full-time courses, our FREE taster course modules allow you to focus on a particular subject over one semester. Usually requiring just a few hours of study each week, they’re ideal for fitting learning around your other commitments.

You can study these course modules on their own, or towards progression onto a full-time course.
