This is a call to students who are looking to undertake an Undergraduate or Postgraduate degree whilst in employment. This opportunity is open to ATHE completers who can apply to the Learning at Work department at the University of Portsmouth for an innovative approach to gaining a degree.
The University of Portsmouth exists to be a world-class university; one that makes a difference to the world, through transformational education, research and innovation. However, to do great things, it takes more than good intentions. ATHE are proud to be a partner in this approach.
ATHE qualifications allow learners to progress to Learning at Work, which allow learners to study while working, so saving travel costs, the degree is delivered via distance learning. Learners study a combination of mandatory modules, work based projects and optional modules. We allocate credits for each ATHE qualification, so you study remaining credits to achieve your Degree or Masters Degree.
These Learning at Work degree pathways provide:
