Distance learning, from the UAE
Kaplan Higher Education UK Limited is the organisation that delivers the online degree programmes of two British universities, and it is the partner Smart College holds its principal agreement with. The company is registered in England and Wales under number 06245017, with its registered office at Palace House, 3 Cathedral Street, London SE1 9DE.
Both universities state the relationship on their own sites. The University of Essex Online says its courses "are delivered by Kaplan Higher Education UK", and University of Liverpool Online says its programmes are "delivered in partnership with Kaplan Higher Education UK".
Kaplan delivers the teaching, the learning platform and the student support. It does not award degrees. Every qualification on these programmes is awarded by the university named on the programme — the University of Essex or the University of Liverpool — and that university sets the entry requirements, examines the work and issues the certificate. Smart College is the provider that supports admission, study and progression.
The programmes themselves are listed under the two awarding universities: University of Essex Online and University of Liverpool Online.
Every programme here has its own page and is the same one listed in the catalogue — both read from one source.
Send us your current qualification and we will set out the right route and its conditions before you commit.
