RDI Information

For over 25 years RDI have been empowering individuals to reach their career potential by delivering university study through innovative learning. We have already supported more than 50,000 students worldwide on their journey to a better future. Working with university partners, RDI deliver UK University awarded degrees, masters and MBA programmes through online distance learning, giving learners worldwide an opportunity to further their studies in a way that suits their lifestyle. As the world’s leading provider of independent UK university distance learning, we strive to achieve the very best. In April 2014, after undergoing scrutiny by the QAA, we have been awarded Taught Degree-Awarding Powers (TDAP). A true testament to our dedication and commitment to uphold high quality academic standards. In August 2015 we achieved University Title and changed our name from Resource Development International Ltd to Arden University Ltd – the first dedicated distance learning university in the UK since the Open University was formed more than 50 years ago. We know the high esteem in which RDI is held by students worldwide and so the RDI name will continue as part of Arden University.
