Listen to Danielle, one of our online students, discussing how online study benefited her, in our podcast below. Online study is the perfect solution if you’re working part-time or full-time and want to fit studies around your working hours, or perhaps have family commitments, such as looking after young children or elderly parents. You’ll get the same level of student support and quality of teaching as an on-campus equivalent, but at a lower cost, with access to a vibrant online community.

We’re very proud of our considerable cohort of international students and we aim to support them as best we can. There are however some things you will need to consider before applying to study with us such as your VISA, entry requirements, and an English language test.

It is important to note that international students who choose to undertake a 2 year course with Professional Practice Year, will need the appropriate VISA and right to work in the United Kingdom throughout their Professional Practice Year, before commencing the eligible course.
