Studying internationally doesn’t have to mean moving abroad. Our online short courses bring UK teaching to you, wherever you’re based.
- Study from your home country, with no need to relocate to the UK.
- Pay the same tuition fee as UK students, with no additional international tuition fee for the same course.
- Fit learning around your commitments, with online materials you can access at convenient times.
- Learn with tutor support, through scheduled teaching, guidance and feedback.
- Revisit recorded sessions to support your understanding and catch up.
- Start with a short course, without committing to a full degree.
You’ll combine independent online learning with scheduled tutor-led sessions, giving you opportunities to explore ideas, ask questions and learn alongside others.
Live sessions are recorded so you can revisit them later. You’ll still have assignments, deadlines and a weekly study commitment, so we’ll help you understand what’s involved before you enrol—including how the timetable works in your time zone.
All teaching and assessment are in English.
You don’t need to have your whole career mapped out. A short course can help you build knowledge for your current job, explore a new interest or experience Higher Education before considering further study.
