Studying online by distance gives you a lot of flexibility. You can study where and when you want; all you need is access to the internet and a laptop, and the time to study. 

There are a few other things you need to think about before you decide to study: 

• If you have enough time to fit study in with the rest of your life 
• When you’ll start studying 
• Getting support from your whānau, work, flat mates – you don’t have to do it alone! 
• Technology needs.
