Online Distance Learning - University of Essex Online

Flexibility for work, play and study

Joe Gardham from York
National Communications Coordinator
Studying Foundation Degree in Criminal Justice


Working full time, becoming a dad, being a charity trustee, playing footy and having a life! All reasons I found not to study.

University of Essex Online allows me to study whenever and wherever I want – at work, in my lunch break, on an evening, even when working away! The flawless accessibility has made this course reliable, enjoyable and engaging. I love learning about new areas of the criminal justice system, having my opinions and understanding challenged by my peers, and translating this into concise fortnightly essays. The workload is never overbearing, and the variation in modules keeps me constantly excited about starting the next fortnight.

You can find loads of excuses not to study full time, but it’s hard to find any not to study with Kaplan.
