The University of London is expanding significantly with the addition of ten online degrees

In response to increased global interest sparked by the pandemic, the University of London (UoL) has launched ten new online programs, which will begin in October.

University of London Director of Online Education, Sam Brenton, said:

“Interest had been steadily growing in our world-class online degrees but the sudden shift of almost all university education from on-campus to online has lit a blue touch paper. Distance learning is now coming into serious consideration for a greater proportion of students, including those who might normally opt for a traditional campus-based degree. An online qualification from a globally recognized provider such as University of London is an increasingly attractive option for those who want to minimize their student debt burden, and learn while they earn, wherever they are in the world.“

UoL has a growing student population of over 50,000 students from 190 countries who benefit from a diverse portfolio of over 100 distance learning degrees.

The new programs are part of an ambitious expansion to meet the needs of students in the United Kingdom and around the world, as we have done for more than 150 years.

The University of London’s extensive experience in distance learning means you’re in good hands – these degrees are a far cry from the pandemic’s ‘Zoom lectures,’ and are designed as ‘digital first’ degrees with content, activities, support, peer interaction, and online assessment. This is education for today’s world.

The new programs are all under the academic direction of one of our member institutions and these are:

• MSc Computer Science – Academic direction by Birkbeck, University of London
• MSc Criminology and Criminal Justice – Academic direction by Royal Holloway, University of London
• MSc Global Environment and Sustainability – Academic direction by Birkbeck, University of London
• MSc Management – Academic direction by Birkbeck, University of London
• BSc Marketing – Academic direction by Royal Holloway, University of London
• MSc Project Management – Academic direction by Royal Holloway, University of London
• MSc Psychology-Law – Academic direction by Royal Holloway, University of London

Welcoming the new courses, University of London’s Vice-Chancellor Wendy Thomson OBE, said: “As the UK’s leading provider of distance learning worldwide, these new programs show our commitment to extending and opening up an opportunity to access higher education.”
