[MUSIC PLAYING] LEILA DALE: And you will be able to see how your typical week would look like. So let's imagine that you are working full time. And you are working 9 till 5. And you don't have time to join. And you don't know when you will have time. So this is absolutely for you because we are offering such a big flexibility that you can join in the evening or Saturday morning.
The only time when you've got live interaction with tutor is during webinar. And that is one hour per week that is live face-to-face-- not face-to-face-- like computer interaction. And what does it mean? Like, even if you cannot make it, they are always recorded and available for you to see and watch it again.
So you've got full flexibility when you want to study and how you want to approach this. Another example I can give-- if you've got family and children and maybe you are too busy, more busy at the evenings but then you've got some time in the morning to spare, it's fully up to you where you find this time and how you find this time.
So you can do it like Saturday morning or Friday morning or Thursday morning. Or maybe you are a night person. Maybe you like to just be awake at the nighttime. So you can study at the nighttime. It's fully up to you. It's your choice.
IRIS DUAN: One thing that I want to mention is this because we're facing the global student. So there's a global community here as well. So when you start your course, you will be working alongside talented students from all over the world. You can share your experiences and passions for your subject. And you will get to know each other. And you will have the group sessions as well.
So yeah, that's it. Thank you. Thank you, Chelsea. [LAUGHS]
CHELSEA KNOTT: Thank you so much, Iris. And again, I think the main takeaway from that is really that you are supported through every step of your journey, from enrolling as a student, deciding it's the right course for you. If things arise during your time as a student, we've got a dedicated support team there for you. And then you also have the support of your academic team as well.
So although it's online learning and I think a lot of students sometimes think that might be isolating, we have a lot of experience within the higher education industry, and particularly online higher education, to ensure that the program is designed so that you are fully supported throughout it and you do have people to turn to and at every step of the way.
LEILA DALE: So in terms of what you are getting at the end, they are not different. It does not matter if you are a student on campus and attending university every single day or you are learning via us. You will get exactly the same diploma certificate. And you will walk away exactly the same way as LSBU student.
It will not say or it will not mention on your certificate that you are online student or that you were half learning online or you had flexible learning arrangements. It will be exactly the same certificate. So it would not differentiate us from-- it would not put students in any disadvantage, you as a student, in any disadvantage.
How it is different with everything else that is there on the market to offer, I can definitely reassure you that-- and that links to one of the questions that Suzanne asked as well, what level of student support is given-- I would say that we are kind of like in the middle. We are not fully online. So you are not left to your own devices to do everything by yourself, as we are checking on you.
You've got engagement with your tutor. You've got weekly live webinars. So I would say we are kind of like a hybrid approach between a traditional university and between fully being online. So we are somewhere in the middle. So that's what makes us unique. And we are offering more support to students than just online courses or fully online education.
