Why choose Distance Learning rather than traditional on-campus learning?
With Distance Learning you choose when, where, how and the pace at which you study – it is extremely flexible!
What is EIE’s role?
EIE helps and supports you with programme advice and application assistance, through to enrolment, submission of assignments, exam preparation, and beyond. You are assured of personal attention from our Director of Courses at all times. You can contact them by telephone, fax, post or via e-mail. Or if you prefer, you can arrange to meet our staff face-to-face. And all of this for free as you will pay fees applicable to you as if you study directly with the chosen institution.
How often can I contact my tutor?
As often as you like via e-mail.
Are learning materials text based?
They are mainly text based, but in most cases can be accessed online which provides additional flexibility.
Can I afford it?
Paying for your studies is an investment in your personal development. It should not be viewed as an expense or a cost because there is clear evidence to show that qualified people earn, over time, significantly more than less qualified people. The Financial Times recently reported that those with Degrees earn as much as £20,000 a year more than those who did not go to University. However, paying for your studies is not always easy, so we suggest you to click here for more information on funding options. |

Admissions FAQ's
|
|
Is the distance learning qualification the same as full time campus students receive?
Yes your qualification will be the same since the curriculum, course content and assessment are the same, regardless of method of study. There is no distinction on the qualification itself. You will receive the same award as full time campus-based students.
How long does the course take?
Length of a course depends on the particular programme. All our programmes have a minimum and maximum study period. Generally you will spend as much or as little time as you would if you were taking the programme by formal part-time study, but this is, of course, very flexible.
How many hours per week should I devote?
EIE recommend that you allow 8-12 hours per week, depending on the programme. Flexible learning is about good time planning and building a momentum. It is also about self-motivation. Regular study is more effective than heavy but intermittent periods of study, but in any case, always plan to spend as much time on the programme as you would by part-time formal study.
Will I have to attend lectures and tutorials?
No. The text based learning materials have been created in a professional and structured manner to replace lectures. All the information you need is there from the start in an easy-to-use format. This allows total flexibility throughout your study.
Will I have any mentoring support?
Yes. All institutions working with EIE have dedicate professors, whom you can contact by email to ask them for support throughout the whole programme.
Can I study from anywhere in the world?
Yes. All our programmes are flexible with text based learning materials which you can study completely independently, even if you have no centre close by. Through EIE’s network, we can tailor your course specifically to your needs. In several occasions, EIE has organized exams abroad for their students who decided to continue their studies away from home.
How much does it cost?
Programme fees may vary. In any case, costs are usually competitive and comparative to alternative methods of study and will include module notes, text books, examination fees and online mentoring support.
What if I need more time to complete my studies?
If you fall behind, become ill, relocate or otherwise need to defer your studies, EIE will always try its best to accommodate you and one of our support staff will be on hand to explain the options available to you.
What if I find the course too hard?
We will not enrol you on a course unless we are confident that you will succeed. However, if you feel you’ve started at the wrong level, let us know and we’ll transfer you to the right one, where possible.
How do I apply?
Simply ask us for an application and reference forms. Once received, please complete and attach copies of your previous qualifications and return to:
