Learning is about adapting to change by developing new knowledge and skills. UEL is a learning community that seeks to meet the needs of all students through a uniquely flexible, student-centred approach.
A key goal is to enable students to successfully balance study, work and family commitments. UEL has pioneered and developed a number of innovative flexible and work-based learning programmes.
We offer more than 500 programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level. These can be studied full-time (3 or 4 years) or part-time (5 or more years). Students can take study breaks and switch between full-time and part-time modes of study.
At UEL, students can fit study around their work schedules. Popular programmes including Business Studies, IT, Law and Psychology can be taken as evening-only options, and increasingly, there are packages delivering course content over the internet using our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), UEL Plus.
Learning can happen in the workplace as well as in the laboratory. UEL students can conduct learning projects at their workplace (Learn while you earn) or get set up in voluntary work placements that can lead to careers (Earn while you learn) - and it all counts towards your degree. See the Work Based Learning web site for more information, or telephone us on 020 8223 3333, or email: lifelonglearning@uel.ac.uk
If you are thinking about moving on to degree level study, we can help you get a head start and make your previous qualifications and experience count! This means that by submitting certification or a portfolio of your informal learning, you may be able to complete your degree in a shorter time. We are currently reviewing our processes to improve our service to our prospective students so if you are interested in gaining credit for your learning through work and life experiences, please contact the Admissions officer of the School to which you intend to apply who will explain the procedures to you.
We believe that everyone, whatever their abilities, has the potential to succeed. The university positively encourages applications from students with disabilities and dyslexia. Click here for details of our Disability Access service
