- This was a distance learning degree but you found the access to the online library really good and there were times when I needed to speak with library staff who were always really helpful and quick to respond.

- Allow me to work several part time jobs whilst carrying out study due to being online. Prevents high numbers of debt due to no maintenance loan and reduced tuition fee. Allows me to live at home and therefore helps me to save for my future rather than accumulating lots of debt
