Obtain a British honours degree in one year

The University of South Wales offers the opportunity for you to obtain a British honours degree in one year.

How?

By using the ECTS system of credit transfer. As long as you have obtained 120 relevant ECTS credits (this normally the equivalent of one year of study) then you can apply to come to South Wales to complete a British honours degree.

At South Wales you will study for the final 60 ECTS credits and if successful will be awarded the Bachelor of Arts honours degree.

This degree entitles you to apply for Masters degrees.
