Distance learning is a great study option, which allows students to fit their education around work and home life commitments. It is often a convenient way to gain a vocational qualification and, of course, it doesn’t matter where you live – it is possible to gain a degree from anywhere in the world.
Did you know that SOAS University of London is the largest provider of postgraduate distance learning courses in the University of London’s International Programmes? SOAS has over 20 years of experience in delivering distance learning programmes, and has over 4000 students in 160 countries?

SOAS currently has three centres offering distance learning courses. These are the Centre for Financial and Management Studies (CeFiMS), the Centre for Development, Environment and Policy (CeDEP), and the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD).
CeFiMS offers courses in Finance, Financial Law, International Management and Public Management. Students are able to choose from an extensive range of modules, including Banking Strategy, the Derivatives Market, Public Policy and Strategy, and Law and Internet Banking.
