The total fees for our distance learning degree courses are:

• £20,805 for an undergraduate course

• £9,750 for a postgraduate master’s course, and

• £10,250 for an MBA.

You can choose to pay monthly, annually, or in full – with additional fee reductions* of:

• up to 10% on online undergraduate courses

• up to 5% on online postgraduate courses.

*Reduction amount depends on study level and duration.

UK-based students can apply for student loans at undergraduate or postgraduate level.

The undergraduate tuition fee loan will cover your full fees and be paid directly to LIBF before the course begins. The postgraduate Master’s Loan is paid directly to your bank account to help you cover your tuition and living costs.

Once you've applied for a UK government loan, the review process can take up to 6 weeks. We recommend giving yourself at least 6 weeks between submitting your student loan application and your chosen start date, allowing you to focus on your studies without any unnecessary delays.

Yes, we offer the LIBF Scholarship, providing a £1,200 reduction in study fees for eligible students.

To be eligible to apply for our LIBF Scholarship you must:

• have applied to study one of our online degrees*.

• have a net household income of less than £3,500/month.

*If you're an undergraduate student receiving a student loan from the UK government (postgraduate students receiving a Master's Loan are still eligible for an LIBF Scholarship).

There are a limited number of LIBF Scholarships available each month so we encourage you to apply early to increase your chances of being awarded the scholarship.

Yes, we offer bursaries for undergraduate students if you're a UK resident, funding your course through Student Finance England, and come from a household with combined earnings of £40,000 or less.

Hardship funds are made available to current undergraduate students twice in the academic year. You’ll be informed when the application period is open and allocation of funds will be agreed by the Scholarship, Bursaries and Prizes Committee.

All you need is a reasonably up-to-date computer – desktop or laptop – with a stable internet connection and a webcam.

Other internet-capable devices, such as tablets or smartphones, will also be useful. For full details, see the online learning page.

We’ll provide you with a free iPad. It will contain everything you need to get started and you can use it throughout your studies. When you graduate, it will be our gift to you! We’re sorry we can’t make this gift available to international students studying online right now. But we’re working on it!
