Courses
Arden University offers a variety of undergraduate (degrees, degree top-ups), postgraduate (master’s, MBAs), access to HE diplomas, foundation year entry degrees and degree apprenticeships courses.
Subject areas covered include…
Distance Learning Courses:
With 24/7, multi-device, multi-media learning materials and a leading edge ‘virtual classroom’ study portal, you can study from any place in the world at any time, as long as there is access to the internet.
There is no fixed timetable and the study portal is open 24/7. The qualification at the end is the same as any other UK university course. Find out more about the distance learning courses here.
Blended Learning:
It is the best of both worlds. Blended study is ideal for anyone who wants an element of traditional face-to face teaching and campus experience, but needs the flexibility of learning online wherever and whenever possible.

Study Centres
When students sign up for the compressed blended degrees or masters at one of Arden’s study centres in the UK, they benefit from the best of both worlds. They will enjoy the structure and personal tuition of a full-time course, coupled with rich online resources and materials. This option is ideal for students who want the routine of a full time campus-based course, without the full-time commitment.
UK Study Centres
Arden’s UK study centres are located in the following areas:
Studying Online Worldwide
With the huge amount of written resources available at the touch of a button, as well as the ability to access video content and virtually connect with tutors, mentors and fellow students, distance learning is not so different from attending classes on campus; what’s more, the qualification received at the end is the same.
International Partners
Select Arden University courses will be delivered at a number of international campuses.
The unique opportunity to study its master’s programme via modern blended learning is available in Berlin.
Fees and Funding
The prime highlight of Arden University includes smart, value for money options, enabling students to stay in control of their finances while they focus on learning.
Funding options include:
Pay in full
There is typically a 10% discount off the total price if the amount is paid in full upfront.
Instalments and pay-as-you-go
Students can pay for their studies by simply making the next payment when they are ready to start the next stage of the course, with no obligations of monthly payments. Payment can be made in bite size chunks if they can’t pay upfront or perhaps aren’t eligible for a student loan.
UK/EU student funding
Undergraduate student loans for UK & EU students
Student Finance England pays the fees which can be paid back in small monthly instalments once the student’s earning rises above GBP 21,000 per annum.
Postgraduate student loans for UK & EU students
This option provides up to GBP 10,000 for taught and research master’s courses, including MBAs.
Second degree funding available for UK residents
If students have previously completed an undergraduate degree, they may be eligible for a student loan for a second degree by online distance learning.
Admissions
Arden makes it possible for students to not leave their country or their family and still get a UK degree.
If enrolled on a distance learning course, there is no need to travel to the UK or apply for a study visa, thereby getting all the advantages of a UK degree without the cost of being in the UK. If an assessment is needed as a part of the course, it can be arranged at a local recognised centre.
Entry Requirements
There are instances where students may be required to have a qualification to enrol onto an online programme. Arden University believes that everyone should have access to the education they deserve, hence, the entry requirements are made as flexible as possible.
