Complete your degree fully-online with OUA

Helen Miller, Digital Design and Internet Communications via OUA

I have studied a number of university degrees. While I know how to research and learn from books, I find the university programs give me mentoring and access to relevant, reliable knowledge, which I may not find on my own.

Studying online suits me as I am in control of my time and my learning experience. It is accessible in most places and does not require attendance at a specific location.
