Online Learning
Whether you’re looking to upskill, earn qualifications flexibly, or explore a subject you love, University of Aberdeen Online is here for you.
Join our online community
We welcome and support over 1,000 online students each year, joining us from over 100 countries around the world.
Wherever you join us from, you can:
- set your own study hours
- earn postgraduate qualifications, including Masters degrees, one short course at a time
- spread the cost of your education, paying per term
- study from home, anywhere in the world - with no visa, travel or accommodation worries.
Take the short course route to an online Masters degree
Use our online short courses as a flexible entry route to an online Masters degree.
Short course routes can help you start studying for a Masters degree when:
- you do not meet the degree’s formal entry requirements
- you’ve missed the degree’s application deadline, or
- you want to start your postgraduate studies without committing to a full degree.
