Why study online with Hull?

All Hull Online courses are designed to be studied 100% online, giving you the flexibility needed to plan your education around the rest of your commitments.

You’ll have direct access to the academic excellence for which the University of Hull is renowned, along with a range of learning resources and student support services.

 Although the course is online, there’s plenty of information on how to use the tools and techniques you’re taught in the workplace, so there’s a practical benefit from what you learn.   

 

Your virtual classroom

Everything you need to complete your studies can be accessed on Canvas, our easy-to-use virtual learning environment (VLE).

From reading academic feedback to engaging with fellow students, you can turn to Canvas whenever you have some free time for your course. Access it via your browser or through the Canvas Student mobile app for a convenient way to learn while on the move.

 Whilst the tutor and course leader are both excellent, I really like the feedback every week from the other students on the work I produce, and my opportunity to give them feedback too. That means I get to read what they are writing – inspiring stuff!   

 

Planning for your course

We know that many of our students are managing a number of personal and professional commitments while studying with us.

While it can be a challenge to adapt to the added demands of a postgraduate programme, planning out times to study can help ensure you find your course enjoyable and rewarding. As with most part-time master’s courses, you’ll need to dedicate around 20 hours a week to studying, but the extra flexibility of online learning means you can choose the times that suit you best.

Below is a recreation of a weekly schedule shared with us by a student. It might give you some ideas about when you can dedicate time to your own course.

Example weekly schedule

If you need help figuring out whether part-time study is feasible for you at the moment, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Course Advisers for guidance.
