Agent Showcase for Online Study – Hosted by Kaplan Open Learning

We are excited to invite recruitment agents to our exclusive Agent Showcase for Online Study to find out more about Kaplan Open Learning (KOL) and its partnerships. Here, we will discuss all the online undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that our partners offer, as well as the student experience and support students receive while they study online.  

Hosted as a series of Zoom webinars by Kaplan Open Learning, the Agent Showcase for Online Study provides recruitment agents with an exclusive insight into the world of studying online at leading UK universities. The webinars will be exploring the new programmes that are available for 2025/26 study.  Agents will also be given an overview of how Kaplan Open Learning’s Admissions teams work with international agents, as well as an opportunity to book follow-up one-to-one meetings for further information.
