Learn your way
Our online Masters degrees are equivalent to our campus-based degrees in nearly every way. They offer exactly the same challenging content, award-winning teaching, pioneering research and student support. But there’s one notable exception – the flexibility to study at a time and place that suits you.
Join our global community
Although you’ll be studying at a UK university, you will be joining a community of students from across the globe. Through our online learning management system, Engage, you can easily connect with like-minded professionals, alongside lecturers and industry experts. It’s a great way to network, share ideas and expand your knowledge and career opportunities across a variety of different industries.
Since launching our online Masters degrees, we’ve welcomed over 500 students from 80 different countries.1
Tools for online learning success
- Video lectures – These lectures replicate the lecture hall experience, helping you connect more closely with the course content.
- Social interaction – Communicating with teachers and students from around the world online via discussion posts, video chat, and email, is often the best way to learn.
- Real-life case studies – Genuine industry examples help you appreciate the practical implications of your studies.
- Interactive assignments – Working as a group often brings out the best ideas and makes learning more engaging.
- Research supervision – Delivered by experts in the field, the courses will help you learn the necessary techniques and skills to conduct and evaluate your own research.
- Academic and technical support – You can call on our student support service to help you with any issues you might be having – for example, completing assignments on time.
- Create a study space – Before getting down to study, make sure you create a space where you can focus, relatively undisturbed, for set periods of the day or week.
- Time management – Although online study offers flexibility in terms of choosing when to study, you will need to complete assignments to deadline, making time management key to success.
Through the participation of [the] discussion board, I understand the topics more thoroughly and from different perspectives by reading posts from my classmates. This is a very interactive learning process compared with traditional on-campus teaching.”
