As this is a common question, we’ve put together a comprehensive comparison page that details all of the key differences between MNU and a degree and also a comparison of course modules.
You might also want to check out what our students say as we’ve had many students who have completed ‘accredited’ degree programmes that still lack the confidence and ability to apply their knowledge into practice.
