Distance Learning Degree Programs

• Costs associated with travel and housing can also be financially prohibitive for international students. Through distance learning, international students can obtain degrees from reputable British universities without having to worry about international travel or housing costs. The University of London has been offering distance learning courses since 1858 and had more than 36,000 offshore students in 2010, more than any other British university. Similarly, through its “Open Learning” style of distance learning, Open University provides support to offshore students in the form of tutorials with other students and university tutors whom they can communicate with online or by phone.

Two-Year Degree Programs

• While most undergraduate degree programs in the UK require three years, enrolling in a nontraditional two-year program is another way for international students to save money. The University of Buckingham, the first to offer such a program, has the lowest ratio of teaching staff to students of any UK university. Staffordshire University began its fast-track degree program in 2008 and offers the following two-year honors degrees: accounting and finance, business management, computing science, English, geography, law, and motorsport technology (foundation degree).
