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 will have the same excellent teaching and learning resources, however you’ll find these online instead of in a lecture theatre.

“The thing that put my degree above other universities' degrees was being taught by industry professionals who were able to share their expertise and experiences of what it takes to succeed - it's that insight that's invaluable when you step into your first job and want to hit the ground running. The course significantly improved my confidence and knowledge of the industry, providing me with a great foundation to build on when working with major clients such as PepsiCo and Lexus.
