A Top-Up course might suit you if you have already studied at university level and have completed the equivalent of two years of a UK degree.

Top-Up programmes may be suitable for you if you complete HND or an equivalent qualification, or complete 2 years of a three-year degree or three years of a four-year degree in your home country. We also have partnership arrangements with many colleges and universities around the world to allow students to progress to an agreed University of Northampton Top-Up programme. By completing one year of full-time study, you graduate with a University of Northampton degree and become eligible for a Graduate Scholarship of 50% or 20% if you later progress to a Masters degree programme with us.

We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That’s why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.

University of Northampton is ranked 1001 in QS World University Rankings by TopUniversities and has an overall score of 4.1 stars, according to student reviews on Studyportals, the best place to find out how students rate their study and living experience at universities from all over the world.
