BU Graduates Rate 2019/2021

Our DBA Triple Award and EdD Dual Award were phased out in September 2022 due to new legislation in Spain that restricts universities from entering joint awards at the Doctoral level.

Therefore, we are no longer offering the DBA Triple Award (BU, VERN & UCAM) and the EdD Dual Award (BU & UCAM).

However, we are still offering the DBA Dual Award (BU & VERN).

Please be reassured that all students registered prior to the teach-out will be allowed to complete the programme within the stipulated time.

We generally do not have a set timetable which requires our learners to log in at fixed times every day. Our programmes are taught in a web-based learning environment, and discussion boards are used to ensure that learners can access their programmes at their convenience.

However, some programmes may involve group work. For these programmes, you will be expected to work with your fellow learners. At the start of your programme, your tutor will set a timetable outlining activities that need to be completed and the date of submission.

E-learning has proven itself by transforming the landscape of learning and development from the days of the traditional mode of learning in a classroom to a more creative, transformative, adaptable, and accessible medium for learning. There is clear evidence of the four key benefits that e-learning brings:

• faster delivery
• lower costs
• more effective and flexible learning
• lower environmental impact

Brittany Université aims to facilitate a student’s success in distance learning programmes by providing and promoting an environment of equal opportunity that allows graduates to be employed with the necessary knowledge and skills.

This depends on the number of credits allocated to a module.  We recommend that you work out the number of hours you need to spend by assigning 10 hours of study against each credit.  So if a qualification has 30 credits hours, you should spend a total of 300 hours and this includes online tutorials, support classes, preparing for assessments and reading time.

The Bachelor and Master programmes commence on the 1^st of every month. The Doctoral programmes commence on the 1^st of the months of January, March, May, July , September and November every year.

This will depend on each programme.  Please go to the “Notional Hours” section of the programme.  You will find our guide relating to the average time that it should take to complete a programme.

Details of the duration for completion, the minimum time required and the maximum time allowed are found in the Programme Specification for the course you are undertaking. It varies between 3 months and 24 months depending on the programme and level.

Depending on the programme, assessments are based on participation, written assignments and worked based learning projects. You must upload all of your submissions to the online portal. Your online tutor will have direct access to your submissions to assess them.

As soon as your payment has been processed, you will be given your log in details and granted access to our online learning platform and the programme materials. The commencement date for your programme will be in your acceptance letter.

For each course you will find information on the qualifications and/or previous work experience you must have.  In the first instance, please go to the “Entry Requirements” section on the course page.  Alternatively, please contact us.
