You’ll be in good company at ARU – over the past 10 years, more than 4,000 learners from 96 countries have studied online with us and gone on to do great things in a vast variety of careers.
ARU is for everyone.

Or maybe you just didn’t get the opportunity?
Now’s your time and you’re welcome here. Learning online gives you the flexibility you need to study when it’s most convenient and fit your education around other commitments.
Whether you want a career change, promotion, simply want to keep your brain active or are returning to the workplace after a break, distance learning makes it happen.
You can choose from our extensive range of distance learning degree courses, then study online using our Learning Management System. It’s your tool box for success – with everything from module guides and teaching notes to interactive quizzes, and discussion boards at your fingertips.
