Don’t know which Uni to choose for online course?

I’m looking to do a fully online undergraduate program; and I’m not sure which Uni to choose. I have been accepted to university Essex online, Nottingham Trent university, and anglia Ruskin Uni.

Id like to know if anyone has attended these schools online and how their course went; how manageable were the assignments , and how were the exams administered .

Hi @Smilebeauty, nice to meet you!

My name's Anna and I study at ARU.

I started my BSc in Jan 2021, in the middle of COVID and I had the chance/struggle to start online. My course, Psychology, was not supposed to be online, but we all know what happened and I found myself studying from my little room in Italy with other classmates all around the world.🎉

I can't give a total idea of how online courses work, but I can assure you it is totally great at ARU. I am not sure what course you'd be interested in, but I can tell you all my assignments are still online now that I've graduated and I'm doing a MSc (still at ARU). So yes, assignments for me have been essays, MCQs, reports, presentations... but all to be completed in our own time and submitted on the ARU platform Canvas. Usually, 2/3 assignments per module per trimester, so not too bad!

I am aware that other courses have different ways to assign students, but ARU ofers a lot of different distance learning options. And if we manage to offer them 100% online, trust me, we are able to assign 100% online too (:

Please check the website for further info and ideas on some 100% distance learning courses here: Course search - ARU

Let me know if you have any other question, I'd love to help!
