QD - ba/ba (Honours) Open Degree
The ba/bsc Open is one of the most flexible, wide-ranging degree programmes in the uk - and our most popular qualification. It gives you huge freedom of choice, enabling you to build your own qualification to suit your personal and professional needs, interests and aspirations. You can study any subjects you like, in any combination – but if you’d like some guidance, we’re always happy to advise. You don’t need to decide now about the whole qualification. The only decision you need to make before you register is what to study first.
