I was at Askham Bryan in the mid-eighties and thoroughly enjoyed it. Spent a lot of time (and most of my grant) in the Rose and Crown in Askham Richard. They used to do a great chicken curry and the local brew was 50p a pint!

it is the foundation degree which you top up to a degree, they do level 3 diplomas.

 

the degree im doing is full time (3.5 days a week+ 1 day working) but you can do it part time (1 day a week from 8am-8pm)

 

hope this helps and I think this is all correct, they have a good website for the info.
