TWO-DAY DEGREE

Yes. The University College Birmingham Two-Day Degree is a full undergraduate degree - BSc or BA (Hons) or a foundation degree (FdSc or FdA), if that's your route. The qualification is exactly the same as our standard full-time offer. We have just packed the timetable into two days, so that it’s easier for you.

All teaching (lectures, seminars, labs, workshops) is timetabled into your two campus days. You'll also have independent study outside of those days, just as full-time students do. Some courses have an online tutorial on a different day. But the campus commitment is two consecutive days per week.

At present, the Two-Day Degree is available on six of our courses. However, the aim is to increase the courses the Two-Day Degree is available on in the future. Explore all of our courses, which are delivered to a 2-3 day timetable.  

Yes. The £6,000 (£5,000 for FdA/FdSc students) UCB support package is on top of your standard student finance entitlement and it doesn’t need to be paid back. Find out more.

Because your days are fixed and consecutive, you'll know your pattern in advance. If exceptional circumstances arise, speak to your academic team - our student support is set up to help you stay on track.

No. Accommodation is available if you want it, but not compulsory. If you're close enough to commute both days without staying over, that's absolutely fine. If you’d rather stay in a local hotel, that’s fine too. But if you sign up with our accommodation, we ask that you commit for the 24 weeks a year. You can change your mind in years 2 and 3.

If your circumstances change and you want to stay in our accommodation full-time instead, you can change to a 42-week contract at any time. Just get in touch with our Accommodation team and they will sort it out for you.

The Maltings is a 10-15 minute walk from Summer Row. It is located at Granville St, Birmingham B1 1SB.

You will have a minimum 24-week contract (for one night a week). For the majority of the courses, you can pay in monthly instalments of £150 a month or £1,200 a year. There is also a £100 deposit, which is returnable at the end of the academic year.

For your night over, you'll just need to pay for any food and drink (you can use some of your £6,000 of support for this). We also have a pay-as-you-go laundry service at The Maltings, if you need it. 

Yes, we don't expect you to have to bring everything with you every week. You will be provided with bedding, a towel and toilet paper as part of your accommodation package. 

You can use all the facilities in the kitchen, including the microwave for heating up food. Please note: no pots, pans, cutlery etc are provided.

All rooms have a bed, mattress, mattress protector, wardrobe, drawers, study desk and chair, curtains and booster heater. You can view our virtual tours here.

Note: All residents receive comprehensive insurance cover for belongings through Howden, but you may wish to extend cover for items outside your room.

We have put aside specific accommodation for our Two-Day Degree students, but you will be very much a part of The Maltings community and can enjoy the communal spaces, entertainment and sports facilities. 

You may be in the same room each week, but there's no guarantee as our Two-Day Degree accommodation is allocated on a week-by-week basis. Our friendly accommodation team will ensure you have all the information you need ahead of your arrival.

We offer parking at The Maltings for the sole use of residents. 

If you bring a vehicle, you will also need to produce your driving licence, proof of ownership and insurance documents. The cost of parking is just £10 per stay for Two-Day Degree students, covering you from the morning of day one until the evening of day two.

Priority parking spaces are provided for students with mobility issues.

Yes, there is free Wi-Fi for you to use at The Maltings.
