Online International Colleges

Many online international colleges are located in the United Kingdom.


Online international colleges allow students from any country to take classes and even earn degrees. Most universities that accept students from a variety of countries and teach courses in the English language are in the United Kingdom. When choosing from among online international colleges, be sure that you select an accredited university. Some organizations professing to be colleges are really nothing more than "degree mills," which will not further your education and cost you unnecessary funds.


University of Oxford


University of Oxford's Department for Continuing Education, located at the brick-and-mortar campus in England, offers a number of courses and several degree programs. Students can pursue either a low-residency master's degree in creative writing or an advanced undergraduate diploma in fields such as local history or data and systems analysis.


The low-residency creative writing master's degree does require several trips to the Oxford campus. However, the advanced undergraduate diplomas can be completed entirely online. Students hoping to earn credits to transfer to a traditional campus program or take a course for personal enrichment can choose online studies in other fields such as English literature, philosophy and politics.
