Some DL courses I found from the UK. Business + IT

I'm not sure if RDI has been mention here before (search engine did not show any results) so I thought I would share some findings I've made on UK Unis' offering DL courses.

RDI is a company that partners UK Unis' to offer some DL degrees. from Diploma to Masters level.

RDI Distance Learning Courses | UK Online University Degree, MBA or Diploma RDI

Schools involved are U of Bradford, U of Sunderland and Anglia Ruskin.

RDI offers the BTEC from Pearson, in IT or Business (There are 5 BTEC diplomas on offer) which can be completed 100% online. There are no 'final' exams for the BTEC. The whole course is assignment based. These diplomas can be completed in 2 years, and often substitute for the first 2 years of University studies. (UK degree is 3 years, except in Scotland it's 4) The cost for the BTEC is about $5,500 USD.

There's also the 1 year top-up degree program offered through RDI for people who have the BTEC diplomas. Courses are mostly in Business or Computing. Cost for the 1 year Top-Up degree is about $6,000 USD. There's also the direct 3 year study route where you can do all 3 years to get your degree, that's $17,000 pounds.

Next is their Masters programs, I've not seen much about their MBA is about $15,000 USD. There's quite a range of Masters available.

So basically if you could do a BTEC + 1 Year top up degree + Masters (MBA) for about $26,000 USD

Up next is the other Uni I found with 100% online degree programs in Business/IT and some others. University of Hertfordshire offers them online, with no 'final' exams, everything is done through their online system and courses are assignment based.

There's also other majors on offer, all about the same pricing.

Their Masters in Computer Science is $9900 USD. There's an entry route for non-CS majors as well.

What's the Best University - University League Table 2009/10

All Uni's I've listed are considered Public Universities in UK, funded by the UK government. WES considers the 3 year degrees offered through the mention universities equivalent to a US 4 year degree. (I did the free search thingy on WES's website)

For our international forumers who wish to find an alternative option towards DL. You can consider UK.

Disclaimer: I do not work for any of the above mention institutes. I was just looking for my degree in CS some time back and my research brought me to those above websites.
