Teaching & Learning

Distance learning

We understand that full-time study does not suit everyone. That’s why we offer courses which give you the opportunity to decide where, when and how you can get involved in learning. Studying a distance learning course offers the convenience and flexibility to make education work for you. Whether you’d like to fit your studies around childcare, develop your skills while working or, quite simply, want to learn from the comfort of your own home, we can help you gain a qualification at a time and pace that suits your lifestyle.

Like our students on campus, you’ll have the same excellent teaching and learning resources, however you’ll find these online instead of a lecture theatre. Not only are all the modules taught online, but you’ll also have access to an online community and more than 140,000 books and journals in our online library.

Technical requirements for distance learning study are detailed in the full guide. Visit our distance learning website for more information.

We’ll facilitate your independent online study through a combination of online activities, pre-recorded lectures, and discussion boards on Microsoft Teams. Your learning will be supported by evening online webinars that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via Microsoft Teams. If you’re an international student studying in a time zone outside the UK, we’ll offer occasional webinars and online 1-1 tutorials at pre-arranged times to suit you. You’ll be able to access recordings of your sessions.
