How to apply
1. Select your course and study options
Once you've chosen from our range of online degrees, decide:
when you’d like to start (you can start any day)
whether you want to study full or part-time.
For UK students, the total fees for our online courses will be the same – whether you choose to study full or part-time – and we offer several funding options to make learning more affordable and accessible. Find out more in our guide to tuition fees and funding.
2. Check you meet the eligibility requirements
Admission criteria vary depending on the course you select.
Check you meet the entry requirements for your chosen degree.

We strive to support students to succeed, whatever their background, and we encourage you to contact us to explore your options if you don’t meet the academic requirements.

Applying for a student loan? Apply now to avoid delays
If you’re planning to fund your degree with a student loan, we recommend applying for your loan at the same time as your LIBF degree application.
Why? It can take up to 6 to 8 weeks for your loan to be approved and funding to be processed. We can’t officially enrol you or allow you to start your course until your loan has been approved and verified by the Student Loans Company (SLC).
Starting both applications together can help make sure your funding is in place before your course begins. Have questions about UK student loans? See our guide to UK Student Finance.
4. Sign your study contract
After you complete and submit your online application, you’ll receive a conditional offer from us.
This offer is valid as long as you meet all eligibility requirements.
Read it through carefully, sign, and return it to accept your offer.
The admissions process: securing your place
The admissions process includes submitting documents, arranging funding, and confirming your place.
5. Upload your documents
To kick start the admissions process, you'll need to upload proof of your eligibility to study your chosen course. The documents you'll be asked to upload will vary depending on your:
level of study (undergraduate, foundation year or postgraduate)
previous academic experience
previous work experience
Take a look at the documents we may ask for:
Documents required for admissionIf you're unsure what documents to upload, reach out to our Study Advisor team who are on hand to support you.
Studying a postgraduate or MBA degree?
At this stage, all postgraduate students will be invited to a mandatory welcome call as part of the enrolment process. It’s a great opportunity to ask any questions and get advice as you prepare to start your degree.
If you're an undergraduate student, you can also request a welcome call at any time if you'd like personalised support during the admissions process.
6. Finalise your funding
At this stage, you’ll need to confirm how you’ll be funding your studies. This includes applying for a student loan (if you haven’t already), or applying for an LIBF scholarship.
Thinking about applying for a Scholarship?
Now’s the time to apply for an LIBF scholarship if you’re eligible. Scholarships can help reduce your tuition fees and make studying more affordable.

Undergraduate students using a tuition fee loan
If you’re an undergraduate student using a government tuition fee loan, there’s one more step to complete before you can start your course:

Important for students using a tuition fee loan:

If you're a postgraduate student, your loan will be released to you in instalments.
