The Distant mode of education, offered by Alfred Education Group and its partner universities, represents a dynamic and flexible approach to learning bridging the gap between traditional on-campus education and fully online programs. The Distant mode of study is designed to accommodate the needs of students with a desire to obtain a high-quality degree of flexibility in their studies valuing certain aspects of physical engagement with the educational process. In the Distant mode of education, students have the opportunity to access course materials, lectures, and assignments remotely, leveraging digital technologies and online platforms. Universities-partners of Alfred Education Group recognize the importance of asynchronous learning, enabling students to manage their study schedules according to their personal commitments and time zones. It eliminates the necessity for students to be present on campus while still maintaining a connection to the university’s academic resources and faculty. 

To choose a Distant mode of study, international students have to send their EIT certificate or pass the entrance exams. Alfred Education Group ensures students are equipped with all studying materials: video and audio recordings of lectures and seminars, practical tasks with methodical recommendations, access to the electronic library, etc. International students have the opportunity to study the material at a convenient time for them. Professors always keep in touch with students via E-mail, Skype, or phone. The examination session is created remotely: students pass the test or interview via Skype or come to the university (it usually takes one day). After graduating from the university, they get a diploma from a national sample that doesn’t differ from other forms of education.

The Distant mode of education acknowledges the modern student’s lifestyle, allowing them to pursue their academic goals by accommodating work, family, and other commitments. Alfred Education Group seeks to strike a balance between flexibility and community, offering a unique pathway adapting to individual preferences and fostering connections with peers and educators. Through the Distant mode, Alfred Education Group empowers learners to achieve their educational aspirations without being bound by geographical limitations.
