Course Description
This course is ideal if you’re committed to living or working away from our School of Psychology in east London. Wherever you’re based, our academic and administrative teams will support you. They’re highly experienced in supporting distance learners.
The key advantages of this new course are that you have the flexibility of choosing when you can study and access to your own personal tutor as well as online forums. It follows the format of our highly successful campus-based degree, which has been developed within our highly respected School of Psychology over a period of more than 50 years.
While other universities may require some attendance, this course is delivered entirely online through our virtual learning environment, UELDirect. There’s no requirement for attendance in any of your modules. But this course requires a lot of self-discipline and time management is the key.
“About a third of our students are in London, and a third live in the UK,” says Course Leader Dr Anna Stone. “We have others in countries across the world, including Thailand, Guatemala and all across Africa. Whether you're working, or you have children to look after, or you're simply looking to keep your mind active - this course is perfect for you.
