Choose your qualification

If you are looking for a qualification that can give you a head start in the job market - or kickstart your existing career - but don’t want the full campus experience, an online course might be perfect for you.

Our online courses can be taken regardless of your location, so if your commitments prevent you from coming to Manchester, you can complete the courses anywhere in the world.

At Manchester Met, we offer online distance learning qualifications at all levels - from short continuing professional development (CPD) courses to undergraduate degrees, masters and PhDs.

We’ve worked with online learning experts at the publisher Pearson to create the Global Online platform to help you get the most out of your course.

The course tutors are fantastic - they understand our individual challenges and needs and as such work to help us. They make lots of time for the students too; answering emails and calls in the evening and at the weekend too. The ebooks are very useful as is all of the online content. The teaching staff are the best learning materials though, they host webinars and put lots of time into the students.
