There are many great advantages of distance learning courses.
You have the flexibility to study from across the world, at your own pace, and even while maintaining your job and other commitments.
This flexibility makes distance learning an excellent choice for mature students, parents, individuals with disabilities who may face accessibility challenges on traditional campuses, and anyone seeking to enhance their creative skills remotely.
Let’s take a look at how distance learning could work for you.
Flexibility
Unlike other university courses, our part-time undergraduate or master’s degrees studied at home and can be completed over a number of years, fitting study around busy lives.
Open Access
Our courses have been created with open access in mind, meaning you don’t need specific subject related qualifications to study with us. There are minimum entry requirements to meet to ensure you have the right tools to get started.
Accessibility
The OCA curriculum is designed from the ground up to be accessible to all students, and our flexible degree structure provides peace of mind to many students who carry out their studies with a disability.
Getting Assessed
Out tutors provide feedback to try and help improve your creative practice, and for accredited courses students will typically submit a digital portfolio of work at the their end of a course unit. This means you can work on your assessment submission as you receive tutor feedback, rather than sit an exam.
Our Tutors
OCA’s tutors are practising artists, photographers, designers, writers or composers and are experienced teachers at Higher Education level. You can be confident in your tutor’s ability to help you develop your skills and give you supportive and constructive feedback.
Course Fees
At OCA, we aim to offer the UK’s best online courses for our arts students at an affordable price. As they’re exclusively delivered online, one of the advantages of distance learning courses is that they’re often cheaper than their university-based counterparts.
