Is your career stuck in a rut? Need qualifications but can't afford to give up work to go to university? Well fear not, you can learn direct from home with a distance learning degree and the good news is it's even easier than ever. Here are eight reasons why:
1. No prior experience or qualifications necessary
Often, you can study a distance learning degree without the school certificates that universities look for. Courses are fully-comprehensive and are taught in bite-sized modules.
2. It's affordable
If you want to learn direct from home, it needn't break the bank. Many providers of distance degrees offer flexible payment schemes. Plus, you won't have to give up your job.
3. Learn direct from home in your own time
Studying a distance learning degree means you can achieve that psychology, business, law or education degree that you've always wanted – without having to attend classes. Learn direct from your own home and fit your studies in around your life.
4. Study at your own pace
You have the choice of when and where you want to study and you can take as long as you want with it. So, if you have family or work commitments, an hour or two in evenings and weekends may work best for you.
5. Full support from a personal tutor
Studying a business or education degree at home doesn't necessarily mean studying alone. Many distance degree providers, such as ICS, allocate you a personal tutor. They'll help you plan your studies, answer any questions and are only a phone call or email away.
6. Access to an online student community
Even though you are studying at home, you can still feel part of the student community. Some distance degree providers have created an online community, where students can give each other help and support.
7. Gain a nationally-recognised qualification
Many online providers of distance degrees are fully-accredited with "bricks and mortar" universities. ICS distance degrees are offered in conjunction with the University of East London, so you can be sure that law, business, psychology or education degree is a valid one.
8. Enhance your career prospects
Not only will you be more qualified, but the ability to learn direct from home shows you have personal skills too. Employers will be impressed by the time management skills, self-motivation and self-discipline required to complete a distance learning degree.
