One of the most common arguments against online learning is that students fail to see the benefit of regular interaction with their instructors and classmates. Without this support, there is a fear among prospective students that studying online, particularly for a high-level qualification like a masters degree, could be a frustrating and isolating experience.

Fortunately, the instructors and staff of blended learning courses like Falmouth Flexible’s online MA programmes understand the importance of personalised support for students, and make every effort to ensure online students get the help they need, when they need it. Courses are also designed to maximise interaction among students, providing you with a valuable peer network during your studies and connections that can benefit you throughout your career.

So what can flexible learning students do to stay as connected as possible to their university during their studies? Read on to find out.

Your Virtual Campus: Accessing University Resources during Flexible Online Programmes

Being on campus at a university offers many benefits, such as access to learning resources, student support services, and even day-to-day social interactions with your peers. So it’s only natural that prospective students considering flexible learning programmes might worry about missing out.

Falmouth takes the utmost care in ensuring flexible learning students enjoy the same advantages as their on-campus peers. Each student receives an official student ID card, and can interact with the Students Union community through online portals.

You’ll also have 24/7 online access to library resources, as well as online software tutorials through lynda.com to help you learn how to use the university’s digital learning platform, giving you all the benefits of attending a top university from anywhere in the world.

Instructors of Flexible Online Courses are Always There to Help

Falmouth’s flexible online courses are created by highly qualified instructors and staff who understand the importance of giving students the help and support they need. Student advisors are online daily to act as a first point of contact for any practical query you may have, while you’ll also receive individual academic support from your course tutors, with regular live feedback sessions throughout your programme.

Here’s what MA student Adam Taylor had to say about his instructors:

“The tutors are fantastic and versatile with the ability to support just about any creative practice. I couldn’t have done it on my own.”

This dedicated approach helps ensure that students receive the one-on-one support, personalised research guidance, and career advice they need to maximise their potential and get the most out of their degree.
