Distance Learning at De Montfort University

This is a video description

De Montfort University (DMU) has a history of providing distance learning qualifications in a variety of subject areas, including human resources, law, pharmaceutics, youth work, cyber security and engineering. Our courses support local and international students and our diverse community consists of students located in over 85 countries. We are continuing to develop more programmes and if you would like to receive updates please, register your interest.

Distance Learning is a flexible way to study for a qualification. It allows you to fit your learning in around your lifestyle and other commitments, but still achieve the same qualifications as you would by doing traditional campus-based study. You can study at your own pace and in a place that’s convenient for you while having access to an extensive range of online learning materials, and benefitting from experienced academics and our award-winning employability service.

Whether you are a recent graduate, or an experienced professional hoping to embark on a new subject area, diversify your skills, or specialise in a particular area of interest, our courses are designed with you in mind, providing you with the flexibility to study online and take your career further.

Many of our distance learning postgraduate courses are also accredited and offer the opportunity to study at different levels, including a master's, diploma and PG Cert, providing you with further options.

Why study a Distance Learning course?

Committing to a campus-based course isn’t always the best choice for everyone. Our wide range of distance learning courses can help you develop your skills and expand your knowledge at your own pace, while working around your work, family and other commitments.

Wherever you are in the world, you’ll have access to online study materials to complete your distance learning course. Alongside this, you’ll benefit from access to experienced academics and personal tutors to support you throughout your studies.

All of our distance learning courses, from short courses to online postgraduate degrees, are designed to help you focus and specialise in your chosen area of study and overcome contemporary and real-life problems in your industry.

Many of our courses offer multiple start dates throughout the year, giving you even more flexibility and control over your studies.

Many of our courses are designed in collaboration with leading organisations, offering you an industry-recognised qualification to improve your employability prospects and support your career progression.

Compared to traditional campus-based courses, distance learning is often a more cost-effective way to gain a qualification, learn about a new subject or upskill in an industry you’re already working in.

Many of our courses offer flexible payment plans that help reduce financial strains. For detailed information on fees and funding available, please visit our course pages.

Completing a distance learning course gives you the opportunity to gain a detailed understanding of current and upcoming trends or contemporary challenges in your specialist area, while creating innovative solutions.

When you study a distance learning course at DMU, the majority of your learning will take place online, so you won’t need to travel or attend traditional face-to-face lectures or tutorials.

You’ll have access to a range of useful online learning materials that have been created specifically for students working remotely and during their own time. These materials typically include a combination of engaging online lectures, activities related to your chosen course, and carefully selected reading materials. For most courses, all you’ll need is a computer and an internet connection to carry out your studies.

Throughout your course you’ll be supported by academic and personal tutors, who are there to offer guidance, mark your assignments and give you an extra helping hand whenever you need it. You’ll be able to contact your tutor via email and phone. As well as that, you’ll have access to a full range of student support services such as our award-winning careers and employability service and our health and wellbeing hub, Healthy DMU.
