Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly learning units to guide your progress
Readings and case studies
Videos and narrated presentations (mini-lectures)

Tuition fee loans

Once you've submitted your application for a tuition fee loan, the review process can take up to 6-8 weeks.
Our courses are 100% online giving you the flexibility to study from home, full or part-time. That means that you won’t have extra costs like rent or travel, and therefore won’t be eligible for a maintenance loan unless you have special circumstances such as a disability.
UK-based students studying a master’s or MBA qualify for the full master's loan amount, which you can choose to fund your tuition fees and some living costs.
If you can't see your course on the Student Loan Company website, it may be because of the study mode you have chosen:
If you're choosing to study full-time (14 months), select full-time in your loan application.
If you're studying part-time (24 months), select part-time.
If you have already started an application but selected the wrong study duration, please cancel this application and begin a new one, with the correct study duration.
If you still have any difficulties, you might find the answers in our guide to student finance, or feel free to get in touch and we'll help you get set up.
