The University of Derby Online Learning is the thriving distance learning division of the University of Derby.

Since 2001, the University of Derby has offered online distance learning to students who required more flexible study options. As demand for these popular online distance learning courses increased, we learned to tailor course content specifically for online delivery.

We have now launched our Shorts Courses for Professional Development.

Our range of online short courses are designed to help individuals in their personal development, whether that’s for your continuing professional development (CPD) or as part of their own training and development plan. These online courses can fit in easily around work and family life so you can study at a time and place to suit.
