Distance learning

Break free from the commitments of on-campus degree study. This flexible study option lets you work at times to suit you as well connect with an online community worldwide.

Distance learning allows you to study a degree without attending the University. You’ll have the same status as on-campus students, gain the same qualification and be able to attend the graduation ceremony.

You’ll be supported by our distance learning course leaders through video conferencing, e-mail and SMS, so you’ll never be too far away from a helping hand.

All the learning materials you need will be available online including lectures, recordings and course material. You’ll also be able to join lively debates with your tutors and fellow students.

The benefits of distance learning: 

• You can fit a full degree around your personal or work life – a great way to enhance your career whilst remaining in work.

• You don’t need to visit the University – course materials and access to support facilities will be available online.

• It gives the flexibility for you to manage your learning time when and where it suits you.

• You won’t miss out on support – a personal tutor will be available when you need them.

• You’ll be able to participate in online debates with tutors and students from across the world, learning from different perspectives and experiences.

• Graduate with the same degree as campus-based students. Your certificate will be no different.
