Long courses

Long courses at Ruskin offer university-level study, up to and including degrees, often with funding support. You probably will not need to take a student loan to do a year of Law, History, Social Sciences, English Studies, International Labour and Trade Union Studies or Combined Studies. All of these have routes to BA degrees, either at Ruskin or elsewhere. You can also train to be a social worker, a youth worker or a writer at Ruskin. There are MA courses in International Labour and Trade Union Studies, Public History and Women’s Studies. All courses have part-time routes available.
