What is Blended Learning at Arden University ?

Do you want to study for a Degree, but feel like you just don’t have the time to fit it into your life? Arden University’s  Blended Learning courses combine innovative online learning with traditional, face-to-face classes to give you a more flexible way to study.

How does it work?

The face-to-face hours are delivered over 2 days per week, but with the additional independent online learning, you can still complete your Degree in 3 years*. This Blended approach means you can study anytime, anywhere and your tutors and support teams can be contacted outside of the classroom, online or over the phone.

When can I study?

Requiring just 8 hours of classes a week  you will have the opportunity to select when you want to learn: weekdays or  evenings .

Timetable is limited to either two mornings (9.00am to 1.00pm) or two afternoons (1.30pm to 9.30pm), or two evenings (two nights on campus 5.30pm – 9.30pm) during teaching weeks;

Where can I study?

With Arden study centres across Birmingham, London, Manchester and Berlin, we believe we can offer a study option that suits most lifestyles.
