RDI has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of UK students applying to study their degree by distance learning since A-level results were released in August.

With a large number of prospective students left unplaced after clearing, online learning has offered many of these unfortunate students the opportunity to continue their studies and not be left behind.

Dr Philip Hallam explains: “It’s a shame that so many students feel that they are left without any options this September as  they do have the choice to continue their studies, but can also be in control of how they want to go about it. Studying online opens a whole host of other opportunities such as earning whilst learning, developing valuable work experience and helping to keep the risk of student debt low”.
