Juggle a busy home life or job by choosing a distance learning course
Distance learning courses allow students to study for qualifications online from the comfort of their own homes without having to deal with applying for a study visa or a more costly life in the UK. Anincreasing number ofUK universities offer this unique type of course, allowing students to combine work or family alongside study.
All course materials are provided via an online portal, while many universities offer the option to receive them via post. Seminars will take place online, while one-to-one meetings with your assigned tutor mean you will receive direct guidance and support. Face-to-face encounters are also available if you are close enough to attend.
