Learn wherever you are – with support.

Distance learning offer students the opportunity to study while they work and gain experience. Wherever there is Internet, they can study. This doesn’t mean they have to face the challenges of distance learning alone.

Support is offered by lecturers, but also other services offered by Unisa and the college. The online learning portal, or virtual campus, called myUnisa is the most important. Students also have access to online discussion forums where they can chat to other students and their lecturers. Content specialist e-tutors are also online to provide assistance and students have access to career and study counsellors to guide them on their learning path.
