Distance Learning
What is Distance Learning?
Distance learning and courses allow students to study for qualifications online from the comfort of their own home without having to deal with visa requirements or a more costly life in the UK, arranging their studies around with work or family life. Students learn using study materials and online learning resources that are designed for active learning. Students can also connect with other students around the world via Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
The impact of coronavirus means distance learning is becoming the new normal at universities across the UK. Learn more about how COVID-19 is impacting on study in the UK for Autumn 2020.
Adavantages od Distance Learning
- Study anywhere -Where you live in the world does not matter you can be fully studied online so you can learn from wherever you are.
- Learn at your own pace -you'll have the flexibility to fit your studies around your schedule and work commitments on a part-time or full-time basis.
- Value for money -fees for distance learning programmes are generally lower than on-campus programmes. You will also save on the cost of relocating to London to complete your degree.
The biggest advantage of distance learning is that study is built around your employment and home life. Universities take distance learning just as seriously as those who study on campus, meaning the undergraduate or postgraduate degree you study is worth just as much.
How does Distance Learning work?
Distance learning works by using PCs, tablets, phones and the internet so that you can study from remote locations like your home or office, rather than attending a university campus. It’s a flexible solution for fitting higher education around work and family commitments.
A distance learning degree from a reputable institution carries as much academic and vocational value as its traditional counterpart and this learning method can be particularly beneficial to people who want to change career, earn a promotion or simply satisfy their thirst for knowledge.
