Postgraduate Online Learning Open Days
This event took place on 22 and 23 May 2024.
During the Online Learning Open Days, attendees registered and joined live online sessions where they had the opportunity to hear from, and ask questions to, staff and students about online learning at the University of Edinburgh.
There were:
- Webinars covering the vast majority of our online learning programmes, with opportunities to hear from - and live text chat with - the academic staff that teach on them
- Webinars delivered by our professional services and student support staff who will outline the support available to you as an online learner at Edinburgh
- Live panel sessions where current online learning students and recent graduates answer your questions and share their experiences
- One-to-one text-chat sessions with our Fees, Funding and Admissions experts
Online Learning Open Days On-Demand
The vast majority of the live presentations were recorded and these are currently being uploaded and edited. These will be made available for prospective students interested in online learning who would like to view these. They will be ready at the end of June 2024. If you would like to receive an email when they are available to access, sign up to our mailing list.
