Study options
Which study mode is right for you? You’ll have the choice to complete your data analytics and marketing master’s degree via online learning or blended learning. Take a look at the difference between the two to see which best meets your needs as a student.
In this programme you study partially on your own and then get further instruction in the classroom sessions. I like that it’s independent but you still have guidance and can ask questions if you need clarification. The online learning aspect of the course has been excellent.

Blended Learning
How does it work?
Blended learning involves face to face, on campus, teaching, including eight hours of time-tabled classes spread over two mornings, afternoons, or evenings, at one of our study centres. This study mode provides an element of structure to your day, where you’ll join your fellow classmates at specific times to learn.
Students are then required to complete the rest of their studies online at a time and place that suits them.
With blended learning you can choose to study weekdays or evenings:
- either
- two mornings (9.00am to 1.00pm)
- two afternoons (1.30pm to 5.30pm)
- two evenings (two nights on campus 5:30-9:30pm) during teaching weeks
