UC’s College of Arts offers some courses by distance to students through the university’s online interactive learning platform, using a blended learning approach.
Arts distance courses you successfully complete can count towards a university degree, in the same way as a regular campus-based course. Depending on your course selection, an entire Bachelor of Arts can be completed by distance.
