Fully online undergraduate degrees. Live lectures on Google Meet, everything recorded, coursework on the LMS.

Part-Time Weekend (PT)

Classes on Fridays and Saturdays, on campus, face to face. Built for people who work Monday to Thursday and want a lecture hall, not a screen.

Postgraduate Diploma (PGD)

The bridge from HND or a third-class degree to Masters study. Also the qualification that makes you a licensed teacher.

Masters Degrees

Fifteen taught Masters across business, computing, education, sociology, public administration and library science.

The Centre is committed to expanding access to quality, flexible, inclusive and learner-centred education through innovative approaches to open and distance learning, in fulfilment of the University’s dual mandate, from inception, to provide both conventional and distance learning. Indeed, learning should not be constrained by time, location or circumstance. We are therefore dedicated to creating opportunities that empower individuals to pursue their educational and professional aspirations, irrespective of their circumstances.
