Bachelor of Advanced study
The Bachelor of Advanced study is an individually tailored, research-based undergraduate degree. This is a unique award that someone can pursue in any discipline. It usually involves considerable research effort, either through a thesis or supervised research projects. It is considered a TopUp award which is equivalent to the standard Bachelor’s degree, based on the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) as well as the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) – Level 6.

The student determines the area of study and programme of work with the supervisor and is provided with appropriate research training to enable him/her to complete the programme of study. This will culminate in the preparation of a thesis which is submitted for assessment by internal and external examiners, together with an oral examination.
