About distance learning
Studying by distance learning enables you to fit your studies around your work or other commitments without having to attend face-to-face tutorials or lectures. Our structured study programmes allow you to take control of how, where and when you learn.

Benefits of being a distance learning student
By successfully completing a distance learning degree programme, you not only display relevant knowledge, skills and understanding to an employer but also demonstrate that you are able to manage your time effectively, that you are self-motivated and already have a good work ethic – all of which will give you the edge you need to find success in the real world.
