This accessibility is made possible because there are no fixed lecture times, the classroom is always open and there is no need to synchronise study with anyone else. In completing their assignments, students can interact with instructors and classmates whenever and wherever suits them best.

All courses are delivered online one at a time, so students can get to grips with the subject and explore it in real depth.
