University of Northampton - Online

We know that sharing knowledge, supporting creativity and striving to make a positive difference will change the future. What motivates us is the drive to help people make the changes that will transform their lives – people like you.

We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That’s why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.

Distance learning is an excellent way of gaining a qualification around a busy home life or job. The University of Northampton recognises that many of our students have family and work commitments and offer various online courses which work flexibly around your requirements.

Our programmes of study encompass a wide range of methods of learning, teaching and assessment to help you gain the skills you will need for your working life.

Money can be a concern for prospective students but there is help to be had. We have a range of scholarships, bursaries and awards, and you may be eligible to receive funding towards your tuition fees and living costs, as well as additional support if you have dependents and/ or disabilities, from the Government.

Please note that your eligibility to receive funding will depend on meeting certain assessment criteria which may include your new course, residency status, household income, and any previous higher education study you have done (whether in the UK or overseas).

Support
The Financial Guidance team are available to help if you have any questions about the funding that may be available to you, managing your money at university, or any financial concerns. We also have a partnership with Northampton Citizens Advice, for more complex queries.

We also assess students for additional funds which may be available from the University, including the Financial Assistance Fund (eligibility criteria apply). Please be aware that this additional funding is not a guaranteed source of income.

For further details, please contact the Financial Guidance team at money@northampton.ac.uk.
