The ‘Applied’ in our degree title also isn’t just a label; it’s a commitment to practical learning. We work closely with industries to create degrees that prepare you to meet the needs of the workforce, now and in the future — which is why we’ve been the number one University in the UK for career prospects for seven years running.
