University of Derby Online Learning

University of Derby

We’re the University of Derby Online Learning (UDOL), a leader in online education for almost two decades. We can help you to achieve more and be more, in your professional and personal life. That's our day job — and we love it.

Our courses are engaging and interactive, meet high academic and professional standards and are delivered by a top UK university.

We help both individuals and employers and are proud to be inclusive and diverse. As long as you have the ambition, desire and potential to succeed, you will be welcome here.

We have a talented in-house team. Our programmes are created and taught by experts from a university.

Many academics are active researchers, working at the forefront of their fields, and bring their cutting-edge insights into their teaching. 

We have plenty of experience in online learning too, having designed and delivered over 100 online courses since 2001. This means you can trust us to run a high-quality course. Our technology is proven and we have an established network of support for you as an online learner.

We offer over 100 part-time coursesthat are delivered online; everything from single modules and short courses for CPD, to apprenticeships and full undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

Our courses are built around robust academic frameworks that are approved to UK standards, so you’ll get the same internationally recognised qualifications that you would from an on-campus course.

As an online student at Derby, your learning will be engaging, interactive, social and collaborative. If you thought it wasn't possible to learn from other students or have a stimulating group discussion with online learning, think again.
