Online and Distance Learning

A student learning online remotely for Aberystwyth University.

Our Online and Distance Learning courses allow you to progress your academic or professional career, on your terms.

In a modern world where time is a premium, our Online and Distance Learning courses are designed to fit around your busy lifestyle - flexibility with an accreditated, robust programme of study.

So, whether you are in full-time employment, are located away from Aberystwyth or are living outside the UK, we aim to make studying at a distance as rewarding and enjoyable as possible.

Where attendance at residential schools in Aberystwyth is required, they have been designed to allow you to participate in case studies, discussions and other exercises which will enhance your understanding of the issues studied. They also provide you with the perfect opportunity to seek individual guidance on your coursework or discussing issues with tutors face-to-face. Please read the course descriptions carefully so that you understand the residential school commitments associated with each programme.

Information Studies

At the Department of Information Studies, we put the student at the centre of the distance learning process. We know that as mature students, distance learners often have to juggle their studies with work (employed or volunteering) and family and other commitments, so we try to be as flexible as possible to help you progress and succeed with your studies. Therefore, our distance learning programmes are designed with ‘structured flexibility’. This allows some flexibility within a robustly structured and validated programme of study. For example, you can take some time out from the course should temporary circumstances prevent you from studying. In addition, we do not impose assignment deadlines; you work at your own pace (not ours) setting your own assignment schedule within the overall time frame of the course.
