Why Online Learning
Many students find that the pressures of work, family commitments or other pressures mean it is impossible to go overseas for an international education. But with distance learning, often referred to as online learning, you can still earn a degree from an internationally recognised university. As long as you have the discipline and self-motivation to succeed, it is possible to get just as good an education as your on-campus colleagues.
