What is a distance learning master’s?

An online master's degree gives you the freedom to embark on a transformative educational journey from anywhere you choose, and at a pace that complements your lifestyle. It involves the same rigorous postgraduate studies, level of commitment, and quality of education that traditional, campus-based master's courses provide. But instead of requiring you to physically attend classes, you study from a location convenient for you, on a schedule that suits your lifestyle.

How distance learning master's courses work

A distance learning master’s degree gives you the flexibility to progress in your professional career no matter where you are. At LIBF, we've combined our extensive educational expertise with the most recent technological developments to create an innovative online learning environment with a mobile-friendly interface, making it available to you at all times whether in the comfort of your home or in your favourite café.


Your interactive study materials, extensive visual libraries, and recorded lectures all live in your virtual learning environment, which also acts as a doorway to online discussion groups. Here you can engage in informative and inspiring discussions with your classmates and tutors, building a strong community that supports your learning.


Prepare to progress towards your goals, one step at a time, and move forward, always.
