Changing Lives - a decade of distance learning

It started with one student in December 2000 but since then has transformed the lives of hundreds of people across the country and worldwide, pioneering a new kind of higher education.

The University of Nottingham’s School of English Studies is celebrating 10 years of ‘Distance Learning’, providing postgraduate education in this popular subject to increasing numbers of students who would not have been able to study full-time in Nottingham.

And after a decade of growth, from just one student to around 200 on the books today, the School is planning to widen access to its courses further by expanding its use of electronic resources and digital technologies.
