What is an online degree?

An online degree is an undergraduate or postgraduate-level course that you can study for entirely online. Through our online virtual learning environment, you can access recorded lectures and study materials and interact with tutors and other students, from anywhere it suits you.


Whether you're a working professional looking to upskill, a stay-at-home parent seeking personal development, or someone who wants to pursue higher education without the constraints of a traditional classroom – an online course offers a convenient and effective way to achieve your goals.

Are online degrees respected?

Online degrees are now widely recognised and respected by employers, who value the determination and self-motivation it takes to successfully complete an online degree while balancing life, work and studies.


With advancements in technology and the growing acceptance of online education, the UK government reported a 38.7% increase in students studying via distance learning between 2015/16 and 2021/22.

What's the difference between online learning and distance learning courses?

Online courses emphasise the use of technology and the internet to deliver course materials and facilitate interactions, while distance learning courses typically refer to the broader concept of learning remotely, which may include correspondence courses or receiving course materials by post.


At LIBF, our online courses use the latest technology to provide a modern and engaging learning experience that goes beyond traditional distance learning methods.

Why choose LIBF's online degrees?

LIBF's online courses offer more flexibility than other UK online degree providers. You can start on any day, and, if you're self-funding, you can pay monthly, annually or in advance.


As an LIBF distance learning student, you have the freedom to learn at your own pace and fit your studies around your existing commitments. Our online courses are accessible, regardless of your location or background, allowing you to take the first steps towards your continuing professional development.
