Recent studies conducted by The Independent on Sunday reveal that the true cost of a university degree studied with a traditional education provider will be up to £100,000 for today’s students because of the interest charges, and several other fees.
In contrast, RDI, the online distance learning specialists offer a wide range of accredited degrees, masters and MBAs in partnership with UK universities, at less than a third of the cost of traditional UK universities or other distance learning providers. Afull UK university degree studied with RDI could cost up to £9k, as opposed to one offered by a traditional education provider, which could cost anywhere between £65-£85k*.
Cost offsetting benefits of online distance learning
In addition to theaffordable tuition fees, RDI students can benefit from the flexibility and accessibility of an online distance learning course. This can be studied from the comfort of their home, through a designatedvirtual learning environment, that acts as a classroom, library, book, networking tool, or campus, all-in-one – on their computer, laptop, tablet, or iPhone. As a result, online distance learning with RDI eliminates the need for extra transportation costs, required to attend face-to-face lectures and seminars, or maintenance costs resulted from relocation.
Studying with RDI also means you canlearn and continue earning, as the flexibility of distance learning allows you to balance studies around work commitments or family. In this way, you can improve your theoretical knowledge, and apply it straight into the workplace, without compromising your career development, or family time.
Overall, adding up the low tuition fees with the high quality learning material, the flexibility and accessibility of online distance learning and the benefits of working, the true cost of a qualification from RDI online distance learning is significantly more affordable than one gained from a traditional UK university or other education providers.
