What is Distance Learning?
Basically, to study by distance learning means just that; you can study from a distance. You don’t need to be on campus or in a physical classroom. You can study a UK degree from your own home in Australia and in the evening or the weekend when you’re free. It’s a very good option if you’re looking for flexibility.
Choosing to study a distance learning course at Douglas Business School will allow you to bring the classroom to wherever you are. You’ll be able to study at a distance, in your own time, at your own pace. You can think of it as having a virtual classroom at your fingertips.
Our Distance Learning Courses
A distance learning degree has the same quality and level as a degree studied on campus in the UK. That’s because everything you get on campus, you’ll get online. You’ll also receive an equivalent of a full-time certificate that won’t mention how or where you studied.
Being in Australia won’t hinder your ability to gain a UK degree, as you’ll have a team of experts teaching you online and supervisors that will guide you through the course content and module assessments.
Online learning brings the classroom to your living room

You won’t have to march half way across Australia to attend a lecture after a long day at work, as everything is online.

A distance learning course can be accessed anywhere – on a bus, on the train, in your living room after the kids have gone to bed etc. All you need is access to the internet.
