We specialise in delivering effective learning experiences for adults which fit around their lives, whether it’s a busy mum in London working toward her degree, or a primary school teacher in a remote area in Kenya, improving her classroom practice. Over 70% of our students remain at work while studying. We use appropriate technology to break down barriers – for those with disabilities, isolated or economically challenged.  We are open – we aim to remove all barriers to education and set no entry qualifications.  We use a mixture of business models (free, fee, and donor support) to provide scalable and sustainable solutions. We deliver quality learning experiences on scale to over 170,000 students. Of the UK learners, 61,000 are eligible for financial support and 44% start undergraduate study without the entry qualifications they would need at a conventional university.
