Distance Learning Mode

Why Distance Learning

• You will study the same syllabus, use the same materials, be assessed by the same examinations and graduate with the same degree as that of a student who studies on-campus.
• Flexible study - at home, in the office, while travelling, without needing to attend lectures at fixed times.
• There is no disruption to your career.

Distance Mode and Methods of Delivery

The distance learning students will follow the same program of study as in the on-campus mode. They will use the same learning materials and will be required to complete the same assignment and assessment tasks. For the MFE program, distance learning students can take part in the class live through internet video conference or alternately view the class later on the web site.

IVLE - The Integrated Virtual Learning Environment

This specially designed courseware management system provides full support for teaching and learning over the Internet. With the IVLE system we can facilitate the organization of course materials, administer assignments and online quizzes, implement bulletin boards and chat rooms, and provide other features in a secure web environment with full participant authentication. All student and instructor interfaces can be accessed using any web browser on any Internet-connected computer. Through the Virtual Classroom system which is integrated with IVLE, distance learning students are able to view the same class as the on-campus students in real-time. “You do not need to go to the classroom. The classroom goes to you!”

Examination Procedures

All examination guidelines and procedures follow that of the university. Distance learning students are required to sit for the supervised examinations at the nearest nominated location.
