Learning has no limits and it never stops, and with the technology developing every day, learning truly has no borders. Nowadays, many people are interested in distance learning programmes.
Do you want to live in Pakistan but study in the Netherlands? Do you study engineering but want to specialise in arts as well? Or do you work full time and have a desire to value your free time at home with a degree in another field? In any of these cases, distance learning programmes could be the right choice for you.
Find distance learning programmes
There is a misconception that distance learning programmes are mostly for certificate courses or short-term courses. However, you may find a distance learning programme not only for short courses but also for Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD degrees. Let’s check what these options have to offer.
Online Bachelor programmes are becoming popular
Usually, most students choose to follow their Bachelor’s degree in the traditional format, attending on-campus classes, whether in their home country or by going abroad. In the last years, however, more students have started to embrace the idea of online education.
Universities have been introducing diverse study programmes for Bachelor's students that are either working, are older students, or simply prefer studying from home.
On our portal, there are more than 4,500 online Bachelor’s degree programmes. You can find a great variety of programmes from engineering, information technology, accounting to business, sales or literature. These programmes are great opportunities for those who want to hold a diploma with the flexibility of choosing their own study hours.
A large number of distance learning Bachelor courses are available in universities from the UK, the U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and a few can be found in institutions from Ireland, Netherlands and Switzerland.
Get a Master’s degree diploma while you work
After having obtained the undergraduate diploma you have to decide whether to directly start working or go on with your academic studies. With distance learning Master programmes you can do both.
You may start working in the field you studied and pursue your Master’s degree to learn more about the subject you enjoy. This may even give you the chance to get a promotion.
More students choose to enrol in online Master degrees, compared to distance learning Bachelor and PhD programmes. Moreover, you can find a wider range of online Master courses in terms of fields of study and in terms of location, as many universities worldwide include these type of programmes.
Today, you have the chance to apply to more than 10,000 distance learning Master’s programmes.
Become a doctor in your field with an online PhD
Here you are, one step further. Now it is time to specialise and get a doctorate degree. Compared to Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programmes, PhD courses are less in number in many countries. At this point, it is probable that you find your dream PhD programme in another country.
Moreover, more hybrid or blended PhD courses are available compared to fully online PhDs. Blended courses combine online study with on-campus classes, so occasionally you will have to do some of your research work at the institution and have face-to-face discussions with your instructor. In some cases, your research topic may involve contacts or physical presence at some of the institutions your university collaborates with.
Take a look at the available distance learning PhD programmes and decide what the best option is for you.
Apply to an online short course anytime
Short courses may be appealing to anyone who is interested in learning but does not intend to spend as much time as is needed for a Bachelor, Master or PhD degree. Short courses keep your mind occupied and help you gain various qualifications besides enhancing your career options.
You can choose a short course anytime during your studies or even after you graduate and you’re also engaged in a job, so you can enrich your knowledge and skills.
Check the available short courses on our portal to see the range and variety of short courses. Once you start, these courses will definitely be a part of your everyday life.
