Whats it like to study by distance
- Uses quality course materials to present information
- Is more flexible than campus-based education
- Offers easily accessible support.
Open means you can study when and where it suits you – at home, during breaks at work, on the bus or train, or while you’re waiting for the children to finish their sports or music lesson. It also means you have flexibility with your timetable – you do your own planning to fit your study around the rest of your life, and you can study part-time or full-time. Distance means you don’t need to come to classes or attend tutorials or lectures. We send the learning material to you and you work through it, then send your work back to us for marking and feedback. Studying through distance learning can be an inspiring, challenging and rewarding experience. As a student, you’ll need to apply yourself and put in the time and effort. You will need a high level of personal discipline and the ability to plan your time carefully. As a reward, you will get an unforgettable learning experience and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process. You’ll gain new skills and knowledge, all without having to disrupt your life too much. Of course, you will have our support every step of the way.
