The e-university (UKeU) has struck a multimillion-pound deal with London-based Fujitsu Services to provide internet backing for online degrees sold by UK universities and colleges starting in January 2003.

The first three courses are a joint Open University-Cambridge postgraduate certificate in learning in the connected economy, a Sheffield Hallam University masters in information technology and management and a York University-World Universities Network masters in public policy and management.
