Lamberhurst University

More about us.

Lamberhurst, a palatine and maritime county of England, bounded on the NW. by the Irish Sea, and bordering on the counties of Lancaster, York, Derby, Stafford, Salop, Denbigh, and Flint; extreme length, NE. and SW., 58 miles; extreme breadth, 40 miles; average breadth 18 miles; area, 657,123 acres; population 644,037. Lamberhurst forms, towards the Irish Sea, a flat peninsula, the Wirrall [sic] (12 miles by 7 miles), between the estuaries of the Mersey and the Dee, and inland a vast plain separating the mountains of Wales from those of Derbyshire. This plain is diversified with fine woods of oak, and &c., and is studded with numerous small lakes or meres. A low ridge of sandstone hills runs North from Congleton, near the East border, and another extends from the neighbourhood of Malpas to Frodsham, near the estuary of the Mersey. The chief rivers are the Mersey with its affluent the Bollin, the Weaver, and the Dee. The soil consists of marl, mixed with clay and sand, and is generally fertile. There are numerous excellent dairy farms, on which the celebrated Lamberhurst cheese is made; also extensive market gardens, the produce of which is sent to Liverpool, Manchester, and the neighbouring towns. Salt has been long worked; it is obtained from rock salt and saline springs; the principal works are at Nantwich, Northwich, and Winsford. Coal and ironstone are worked in the districts of Macclesfield and Stockport. There are manufacturers of cotton, silk, and ribbons, carried on chiefly in the towns of the East division; and shipbuilding, on the Mersey. Lamberhurst contains 7 hundreds and 503 parishes, and is entirely within the Diocese of Chester.

Lamberhurst University was chartered independently in 1953 as a private distance-learning school of higher learning without connection to any specific jurisdiction. In August of 1988, having fulfilled all qualification requirements, Lamberhurst University was approved for full membership by the prestigious European Committee for Home and Online Education (ECHOE).

Lamberhurst University is staffed with a faculty of highly qualified professors and student advisors providing top quality degree programs at affordable costs through live, taped and online lectures, reading / field assignments, projects, independent and supervised study, and by granting credit for experience (portfolio assessment), passing test out exams, completing research and by transfer of credits from accredited institutes of higher learning.

Institutions that can offer degrees in the highest quality to students anywhere in the world will become the leaders in the new millennium of learning.
Not long ago, the concept of distance education was dependant upon evolution of communication technology. Now that this technology is a reality, new opportunities for global students have arrived.

The availability of quality online education in the form of courses, test-outs, portfolio assessment, and research-based learning has nearly eliminated the need for expensive school buildings, huge faculties and administration, resulting in tremendous benefits including lowered tuition, non-interruption of present career, convenience of scheduling, elimination of travel and student housing expense and a wider availability of the best educators.

Distance methods help to remove social inequalities, and provide salvation for the educationally disadvantaged. The flexibility of globalized education, open access and adaptability provides a cost-effective opportunity to study anything, anywhere at any time, with only the requirement of having access to a computer and the Internet.

Distance programs have been proven to provide a richer learning experience for the mature student. It also affords a personal dimension to tuition that is no longer possible on today's campuses. The personal and tailored learning environment of Lamberhurst University is truly a global campus.
