Univ of Staffordshire UK - Distance Learning

[MisterE]

1. Personally, I haven't taken courses at Staffordshire University yet, so I can't comment on the experience.
For myself, as I don't have tuition assistance, I'm looking for cheap/easy/fast & value (good ROI in the future)

2. They're fully accredited in the UK, some national rankings have them at 37 & 53, world ranking in the 800's.
So, technically, they are in the top 1000 uni's in the world, an example of the Big 3 - none are even on the list.

3. Reputation seems "good enough" for me, 37-58 out of 131 UK schools, a little above the middle of the pack.
I've seen them ranked just under Coventry/FutureLearn in the UK that offers degrees, but much more expensive.

Take a look at Masters by MOOC, coursera, edx, futurelearn, udacity, upgrad all offer them at a steep discount.
Here's an example ranking for 2020, http://www.studyin-uk.ca/uk-study-info/u...-rankings/

Update Note: They ranked 9th out of 133 UK universities as a Top Research Univ here: https://www.staffs.ac.uk/news-archive/st...297070.jsp

 
Thanks for that ranking link.  I'm also considering Heriot-Watt for their MBA and nice to see how they ranked as well (#33 on that list).

I've gone ahead and reached out to the university for more information on the distance PhD program and will post back to this thread if I receive anything interesting back from them.
