Questions and answers

Accreditation is under process. eLadder is not accredited today, no accrediting body has been named to us, and no date has been set. The accreditation page states this in full and is the only place we state it.

This is the question everything else depends on, which is why it is first here rather than buried. If you need an accredited qualification for a specific purpose, ask us directly and we will tell you in writing where we stand today.

That depends on our accreditation, which is under process and not held today, and on the rules of the country you are in. In several countries a foreign qualification has to be assessed by a named national body before an employer or a university will accept it.

Ask us before you commit rather than after, and we will answer precisely for your own country and situation.

Tuition is being finalised and lands on the tuition page shortly — the full figure for every programme, in the open, not behind an enquiry form.

We are not taking payments through this website yet, so please do not send money to anyone who says otherwise. Tell us if you are approached.

That is who the university is built for. Teaching is asynchronous by default, so material is released and you work through it when your week allows rather than at a fixed hour.

Credit values and term length are being finalised, and we will publish the hours per week for each programme alongside them, so you can plan your year against a real figure.

For an Associate degree, completion of secondary education or its equivalent. For a Bachelor's, a recognised high school diploma or equivalent and four years of English or equivalent language study.

Applicants without formal qualifications may be considered on professional experience and portfolio review. Entry requirements for Master's and Doctoral study are coming soon.

The Associate in English as a Second Language exists as a route in rather than a barrier. It covers English for academic and professional use and awards a certificate on completion of the highest level.

Our transfer credit policy is being finalised. Send us your transcript now and we will tell you what applies to your case.

A computer that runs a current browser, a connection stable enough for video, and an email address you check. A phone is enough to read and watch, but written assessment and most software work need a laptop or desktop.

Continuously rather than by one final examination: assignments, projects and written work through the term, each with published criteria and a deadline. The module list and assessment method for each course are coming soon.

15 programmes across four levels, from Associate to Doctorate, in business, computing, English and language, and arts, history and international studies. Every one is taught online.

eLadder's model includes travel and real-time work exposure. Destinations, frequency and cost are being confirmed and will be published in full.

What is true today is that studying here does not tie you to one country: you can move during a programme without interrupting it.

Because we publish a figure once it is confirmed. A tuition number or an accreditation status is something you plan your savings and your career around, so it goes up when it is right rather than when it is convenient.

Everything already settled is on this site in full, and anything you need before it is published, we will answer directly.

Through the grievance policy, which sets out the stages and who handles them. If our answer does not satisfy you, you are entitled to take the matter outside the university, to our accreditor and the relevant authorising agency, and we will tell you how at the end of the process rather than waiting to be asked.
