Where can you study from

It is possible to study any of Oxford Open Learning's courses from anywhere in the world. However some courses are easier to study from abroad than others and some restrictions to the type of tuition available apply.

What tuition do I receive whilst I am abroad?

You still get the same level of access to your tutor that any Oxford Open Learning student enjoys. So our tutors will still mark your assignments and respond to your written enquiries. Our tutors will not, however, telephone you whilst you are abroad, so if you need assistance from your tutor, you will have to phone them. Please consider the time differential when phoning your tutors. If you wish to communicate with your tutor by email, please discuss this with your Student Adviser when you apply and they will ensure you get a tutor with email facilities.

Where can you take your examination?

Some of Oxford Open Learning's courses can be sat abroad, for example there are ACCA examination centres in most countries. If you wish to study a GCSE or an 'A' level, then you will need to be able to return to the UK to take your examinations. Please remember that most of our GCSEs and 'A' levels have several examinations which may well be spread over several weeks. If you can't return to the UK for the examination, Oxford Open Learning will issue you with a Diploma based on your Tutor Marked Assignment results for GCSE or an Advanced Diploma for an 'A' level.

If you are studying from abroad, please discuss your examination options with your Student Adviser when you apply.

Delivery Costs

The price of delivery to the UK mainland is included in our course fees. However, students who live outside of the UK may be required to pay an extra fee for International deliveries. Please discuss the cost of delivery with your Student Adviser prior to enrolling on your course.
