Foundation degree to BEng Top Up

Hello all,


I can imagine this question has been asked various times but I've not been able to find the answer I'm looking for.


Just under two years ago now I completed a foundation degree in electrical electronics, This was done via part time study on a day release. Two years on and I'm in an senior position within my company and can not afford to be out the office for a whole day. 


I really want to top up my foundation degree to a full accredited honours degree but I can not find a course that will do this. I'm happy to study weekends or a night if the university is near (Shropshire, West Midlands) or distance learning. 


Distance learning seems to be the one that best suits my situation but I'm struggling to find somewhere that had decent available contact hours. I'm very much a do'er than a reader, I would rather listen to someone as I take in information much quicker than reading. 


My question is, has anyone been in a similar situation and what have they done/doing about it?

 

I would prefer not to tell my company that I'm doing this and just get on with it.


Many thanks,

Anthony

  • Hello Steward,


    i have seen seen this program and really interests me, I'm currently in discussion about the work based part of this course as ideally I don't want my work place to know about me taking this course (I know it sounds silly but I have my reasons) I'm hopefully they will allow or some up with a solution. The location is perfect and I've heard very good things about the course. 


    When looking for a top up did you come across any other top ups? I would obviously be paying for this myself, hopefully with a student loan.


    Regards,
