It appears you have little idea of what a traditional, academic degree looks like. Every course in these subjects emphasises study in a different way from school, with far more emphasis on self study, culminating in some element of original research, with a major project or a dissertation, depending on the nature of the subject. Having lived with students of non-academic courses at a "new university" these courses are very different from mine. They were far more like college courses.

As a senior university lecturer with over 28 years experience (not at a "new university") I probably know a bit more about traditional academic degrees than you!
