Arden University

Arden University is a UK-based, technology-enabled university that delivers flexible higher education and apprenticeship training designed around the needs of employers and working learners. Through its apprenticeship provision, Arden offers degree-level programmes such as Level 6 Chartered Manager, Project Manager, and Health and Care Management degree apprenticeships, delivered predominantly online with some face-to-face teaching at UK study centres. These programmes are structured to align with apprenticeship standards, combine academic study with workplace application, and include industry-recognised accreditations where applicable. Arden positions itself as a digital-first, inclusive apprenticeship provider, offering standard and non-standard entry routes, free Ecctis checks for overseas qualifications, and functional maths and English support to reduce barriers to higher education. Employers can use levy or co-investment funding to upskill existing staff or develop new talent, with Arden providing end-to-end programme design and delivery under its own taught degree awarding powers, 1‑to‑1 coaching for apprentices, and online learning technology that supports nationally dispersed and hybrid workforces. Beyond apprenticeships, Arden also provides a broad portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees via online and blended learning modes across subjects including business, computing, law, psychology, and health and social care.
