Online learning is an increasingly popular study choice for international students. Many students are now considering online study as a good option if they want to pursue an education at a world-renowned university abroad, but can't or don't want to move overseas for whatever reason.
Historically referred to as distance learning courses, online learning provides international students with access to a greater variety of universities, without the added cost, stress and logistics of moving abroad, which is not a possibility for everybody.
There are hundreds of online learning courses from around the world available to browse on StudyLink.com

Here are some of the top reasons to choose online learning:
The course entry requirements will differ at each university, and will likely include previous study requirements, and language requirements. You will need to provide proof of these, in the form of grade transcripts, recommendation letters and test scores.
The more generic requirements usually include an up to date laptop, computer or tablet (your course might have specific requirements for technology hardware and software), and a strong and reliable internet connection. If you have any questions about specificities, speak to the university that offers the course you are interested in.
As mentioned above, online learning tends to be a cheaper option for international students. Not only are online courses normally cheaper, but you will also make considerable savings by not having to pay for visa applications, travelling, moving, and any future living expenses.
