With UPOnline, you will not be alone because there are dedicated facilitators and contactable staff ready to help, motivate you and assist with any queries you may have. The UPOnline platform is also conducive to you asking questions and consulting with your facilitators.
UPOnline programmes are designed to be highly interactive learning environments. You’ll be sharing ideas with students from around the world. Live chats, discussion forums, and online video communication tools all help you become more connected to an expansive professional network.
You can start whenever it’s convenient for you because there are 6 start dates a year. This is different from a traditional academic calendar which normally only has one enrolment opportunity in the year, for example at the beginning of the year.
When studying online, you only focus on and pay for a single 8 or 16-week module at a time.
