At the Department of Information Studies, we put students at the heart of everything we do. We understand that many of our distance learners are mature students managing work, volunteering, family, and other commitments - so flexibility is built into our approach.
Our distance learning programmes are designed with ‘structured flexibility’. This allows some flexibility within a robustly structured and validated programme of study. For example, you can take some time out from the course should temporary circumstances prevent you from studying. In addition, we do not impose assignment deadlines; you work at your own pace (not ours) setting your own assignment schedule within the overall time frame of the course.
