Discover new online courses from experts in online learning.
At the University of Aberdeen, we’ve been delivering online learning for decades.
The flexibility that online learning offers is one of the reasons we continue to make more subjects available online each year.
Increasing online options means that more of you can access the topics and university learning you want, without having to head back to campus.
New study paths to explore
We offer online short courses where you can pick up new skills in 10 – 12 weeks, as well as part-time online postgraduate certificates, diplomas, and degrees.
You’ll find a growing range of study topics here, all taught by the same outstanding experts who teach on campus.
