Distance learning

 Benefits of Distance            Learning

Studying by distance learning has the benefit of allowing you to develop your career without having to leave employment. It also means that you can apply new knowledge and insights to your working life while you are still studying, with many students choosing to tackle work-related topics in their dissertations.

Distance learning isn't just about career progression. It can also be to deepen your knowledge of a favorite’s subject or simply for the pure enjoyment of learning.

Flexibility

Distance learning is a flexible way to study as you are able to choose when and where you study - from home, in the office, or anywhere in the world! There are no timetabled classes to attend which means you can fit studying for a qualification around your other commitments.

Supported study

Self-study is central to any distance learning course. However, should you need it, support is always available from your tutors at the University. You will, of course, have access to the Library’s special service for distance learning students and to internet and database services, as well as to Blackboard - our virtual learning environment.
