Distance Learning

DL is our more traditional, flexible study mode designed for independent learners who prefer minimal online engagement. Students in this mode primarily rely on textbooks and study guides, with access to supplementary online resources via our learning platform. DL supports self-paced learning and is ideal for students with limited internet connectivity or those who prefer offline study. While lecturer support is available, interaction is less frequent compared to other modes, allowing students to manage their time and progress independently.
