At Huddersfield, we offer a range of postgraduate distance learning courses designed to give you the ultimate degree of flexibility over your studies and equip you with the skills to achieve your career goals.

What is distance learning?

Distance learning is where you study your course online, through a range of interactive teaching and learning activities. And at Huddersfield, our courses are delivered 100% online, so you can study from anywhere, at any time, without the need to come onto campus. So, wherever you find yourself in the world after graduation, you can remain part of Huddersfield and continue your journey with us.

Alumni discount

We offer a 10% tuition fee discount on distance learning postgraduate taught courses to students who have completed their undergraduate degree at Huddersfield. 

Conversion courses: pursue a new passion

The great thing about some of our distance learning degrees is that they are conversion courses.

A conversion course is an intensive postgraduate degree programme that enables you to study an entirely different subject to the one that you studied at undergraduate level.

This makes them a great option if you are unsure of what career you might want to pursue after graduation or if you are interested in moving into a new discipline.

The flexible nature of our distance learning courses means that many of them are available for you to start at multiple points throughout the year.
