Current options include the BA (Hons) Leadership and Management and the Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship, both delivered at the Norfolk House campus.

Both routes lead to a BA (Hons) Leadership and Management qualification, but a degree apprenticeship requires you to be employed in a relevant role and your studies are funded through your employer's apprenticeship levy, it also includes the chance to achieve Chartered Manager status with the CMI. The full-time route follows a traditional three-year university timetable without a work placement built in.
