From talking to online students, graduates and our online tutors, here’s what we think you need to succeed as an online student:
Self-discipline and motivation
Good organisational skills – so you can plan study timetables and get into a routine
A place where you can focus on your studies – whether it’s a spare room at home, your office at work, – a place where you can concentrate is essential
A computer with internet connection
The ability to use a computer and the internet
Experience of online forums and chat rooms is also beneficial.
