# Can I study from outside of the UK?
We encourage and welcome international students to join our learning community.
All of our courses are specifically designed to be delivered via distance education and home study, so you can complete your course from anywhere in the world. Some courses relate specifically to UK practice and legislation and in these cases all work must be presented accordingly. There will be no need for you to attend any physical location like a test centre or campus, unless your course has a 'practical' element to it.
Please note, to study an Access to Higher Education Diploma, you must be a resident in the UK and have a UK postcode.
