Avoid the Debt Trap of University Education with Distance Learning Courses from RDI
The average student will leave university after graduation with a debt of up to £30,000 [Telegraph 14/8/2007]. Despite the concessions made on payment terms, it is still a debt and has to be repaid. For prudent students, a more affordable option is to study by distance learning.... A key benefit is that distance learning programmes mean students can earn while they learn, as the courses don't take up all their time. Whereas an on-campus university programme commits a student to a condensed 30 weeks per year, distance learning study is spread over the entire year and can be undertaken when the student wants, giving much freedom.
