RDI offers hope to thousands set to miss out on UK university places
According to recent articles in the UK press (for example in The Guardian and The Daily Mail) many more students will be missing out on their university places this year due to cutbacks in goverment targets coupled with increased demand for university qualifications - as over 20s attempt to up-skill and avoid the recession's effects. For many this means not being able to start their preferred courses in the summer as places are predicted to be over-subscribed. But for those hoping to study and begin their UK university courses this year - RDI can offer you a valuable alternative.
More intakes mean you can get ahead
Firstly, with two intakes before September (April and July), applicants looking for complete peace of mind can secure their place and even begin their course before the traditionally busy September intake - getting a head-start on their qualifications.
Online learning means no classroom capacity
Secondly, because RDI offers the same qualifications but by distance learning, the student quota or number of places is much more flexible and not dictated by classroom sizes or campus capacity. Therefore RDI can quickly adjust to increased demand - offering larger intakes so everyone who wants to study can do so.
Graduating ahead of on-campus students
Thirdly, RDI offers additional benefits to those aiming to avoid the combined threats of recession and large student debt by giving students the flexibility to work AND study - meaning a regular wage and career development as well as a university qualification - greatly improving their job and earning prospects.
Dr Philip Hallam, RDI CEO, explains:
"We offer a compelling alternative to on-campus study. With rising student debt and the current recession, gaining UK university qualifications by distance learning has become even more attractive as a way to get ahead and secure your job or increase your wages. We give students a complete price for their course, then break it down to suit them including pay-as-you-go and pay monthly options. We even offer a 30 day money-back guarantee to give students complete peace of mind."
