DO you want to obtain a postgraduate degree without having to put your career on hold? Are you in middle management and have set your sights on a promotion but lack the requisite postgraduate qualification? Are you a petroleum engineer in Sudan but would like to deepen your knowledge at a university recognised by the oil and gas industry?
UTP, which prides itself in its outcome-based education approach, has since May this year, begun offering postgraduate programmes via ODL mode – allowing students the flexibility to unlock knowledge from the comfort of their homes. The programmes offered via ODL are delivered via UTP’s e-learning platform, ULearnX. ODL programmes are offered with the flexibility of classes on campus, online or a blend of both – the choice is in the hands of the student. Working professionals can opt for the best mode of learning to accommodate their busy schedules and demands of career and family. Students have a choice of completing their postgraduate degrees at their own pace – taking a year to three years.
Through the ODL mode, special weekend classes can also be arranged to accommodate the student’s busy schedule. Using an open-source application on the learning platform, lecturers can engage and collaborate with students online through chat, audio and video – further enriching the teaching and learning experience.
The postgraduate courses delivered via ODL mode also include industry-based projects and assignments.
