If you are thinking of studying from home with the University of London, we can help you to apply for your course. You will also be able to sit your exams with us.

What can you study?

You can choose from a wide range of subjects, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. However, most of the qualification on offer from the University of London are in the arts/humanities and social science disciplines.

How do you apply?

The University's External System was established in 1858 to make University of London degrees accessible to students who, for one reason or another, could not come to the University to study in the conventional way.

Why study through distance learning?

The External System offers a cost-effective solution to students who cannot study abroad, due to money, time or family commitments. You can also continue in work while you study, so you don't lose wages or affect your career. Registration and workload is set to suit your needs, so you have the added benefit of working at a pace to fit your lifestyle. If you need to sit an exam, you can do this in a centre that's close to you.

How does distance learning work?

Distance learning works like a convential degree: your work is assessed to exactly the same standard and you will be directly involved with your college and its academic staff. Depending on your subject, you will be taught through video conferencing, online forums and e-mail.

When can I apply for study?

Although distance learning offers a flexible timetable, it is best to apply at specific times throughout the year to ensure you receive a place on your chosen course. You can visit University of London's website for more information on how and when to apply, click here.
