Studying At Unisa
Unisa uses an Open Distance e-learning (ODeL) approach to education, meaning students study from home and do not attend any in-person classes. In recent years, the institution has also begun conducting its examinations online.
This flexible nature of Unisa’s ODeL learning model has attracted a diverse range of students, regardless of their schedules and work commitments.
