You will usually come into LKC for two full days as a time to study intensively and can book accommodation onsite (at additional cost, student rates available) if you are travelling a long distance and would like to stay onsite and make use of facilities such as the library.
There are part-time and full-time study possibilities, and government student loan facilities are available to those who have not previously studied for a degree.
