What Our Distance Learning Students Say About Us
“I’ve got to know far more people on my course than I would have if I were sitting in a lesson with a small group. Throughout the modules we discuss weekly topics, share ideas and team up for group tasks. There’s also a really supportive chat where we can ask questions, share what we have found and help each other. The assignments are flexible too, meaning I can apply the topic to my current workplace. It’s really helping me to take the next steps in my career.” - Claire Capel, Northumbria University Distance Learning Student
“I feel like I’m working towards an exciting goal in a new career and Northumbria has made it extremely accessible... My Student Success Advisor calls every few weeks and I feel like I’ve been well supported since my initial enquiry about the course. If I need any help with any aspect of university life, it’s only a phone call or an email away.” - Gemma Cornwall, Northumbria University Distance Learning Student
