How will I learn online?

  • Your program content, assessment, and final projects will be available on your learning management system. The platform is called Canvas, which is the same platform used by Ivy League Universities. You'd need a laptop or desktop when working on your projects. There is a mobile app for it too so you can go through the modules wherever you are.
  • Allocate a minimum of 15 to 20 hours per week at your most convenient time and ensure that you are meeting assessment and assignment deadlines. Assessments are usually done every week.
  • Don't worry because you will not be alone in your journey. You'll have access to our Learner Success Team 24/7. They will help you transition to online studies, and help create your study timeline and goal setting.
  • The modules are asynchronous. Everything that you need to complete your assessments and projects will be available in your modules so you don't need to wait for the live lectures to get started. There are live lectures hosted by faculty twice a month. It's optional and not required for you to attend.
  • You'll have access to your faculty's calendar to book 1 on 1 sessions.
