Distance learning offers many advantages

A Distance Learning course – as opposed to blended learning – offers various ad-vantages especially for people who want to combine study and an occupation and/or who have family commitments:

  • Great flexibility

    Distance Learning students can freely determine their study times – they study, where and when it best suits them. Distance learning is therefore fully compatible with gainful employ-ment and/or family life. And you can adapt your study to your personal bio-rhythm (perform-ance curve).
  • Acquisition of additional skills

    Distance Learning students acquire valuable further skills in addition to the specialised knowledge in the academic subject: They learn how best to organise themselves, to set pri-orities and to manage their everyday life. This time-management and self organisation know-how is much appreciated in the workplace. 
  • Accessible cost with full recognition

    Distance learning – as compared with blended learning – is relatively inexpensive: You study in parallel with your gainful employment and benefit from attractive term fees. The diplomas or degrees are recognised by the Confederation and thus fully valid. Anyone who combines a job and distance learning can acquire a university diploma at an unbeatable price.

Distance learning requires a certain self-discipline and self-organisation in addition to a secondary-school leaving certificate.
