The Universities serve approximately 80,000 students per annum and offer a comprehensive range of provision, from short courses and seminars through to degree and post-graduate learning.  Traditional lecture-based delivery, either part or full time, is accompanied by options for on-line learning and partnership programmes, that bring together workplace learning and university study.
