Get a taste tester of a degree when you undertake single-unit study. A unit is a study module worth a specific number of credit points (not to be confused with a course subject). Single unit study is great for filling in a skills gap, increasing your chances of getting into a degree programme, reduce future study time with recognition of prior learning, or may inspire you to continue onto a postgraduate degree. Single unit study is not available from all providers or with all qualifications so be sure double check.
