Fully Online Education

As part of our  Digital Transformation strategy, the University of Leeds is making plans to grow its portfolio of research-based fully online education opportunities.

From fully online degrees through to online sub-degree qualifications and professional learning, growing our online education provision provides an opportunity to meet the global demand for higher education by reaching new students alongside our existing, campus-based learning provision.

Also, our new ‘Fully Online Education’ MS Teams site now live. This site is a one-stop shop for anyone interested in Fully Online Education. It will guide you through the process of developing a fully online programme, from registering an initial expression of interest or opportunity through to the development stage. The site is also a space to discuss ideas with colleagues across the University.

Lastly, you can find information and a series of Q&As below that will form part of a larger series (upcoming events can be found on the events page), furnishing Academic staff with the details they need to take programmes online.
