Walbrook: a finalist among leading EdTech providers

Walbrook Institute London has been shortlisted for an international award for its use of education technology.

The institute is a finalist in the Ed Tech & Content Provider of the Year category at the Education Investor awards. The winners of the EducationInvestor Awards will be announced at a ceremony in London on 18 March 2026.  

Building engaging, career-focused online programmes

In its entry, Walbrook was able to highlight the work to build and deliver a range of engaging and interactive online MBA and MSc programmes. The Walbrook team also described how they had brought all LIBF professional education examinations in-house so they can be delivered online, improving outcomes and experience for banking and finance professionals.

Degrees designed for flexible, modern learning

Walbrook’s new online degrees are designed specifically for remote learning, to help students study flexibly and achieve their goals. The degree content and teaching methods are based on the latest best practice to help students learn and progress.

Rather than comprising PowerPoints, PDFs and prerecorded/streamed traditional lectures, Walbrook’s postgraduate programmes use engaging online learning activities through the Brightspace virtual learning environment. Walbrook uses the same platform to deliver its industry-leading LIBF professional education qualifications.

 

A track record of award-winning innovation

This is not the first time the institute has been recognised for its use of education technology. In 2025, it won a UK Operational Excellence Award for Best Use of Technology in Operations for its development and delivery of LIBF qualifications. Walbrook was also shortlisted at the same awards for Third-Level Education Provider of the Year for this work.

The judges of the Ed Tech & Content Provider category were particularly looking for awards entries which demonstrated best-in-class digital solutions to support the educational needs of students and learners.
