My favourite part of online learning is that I can go anywhere with my laptop and still be able to do my studies. Because of the excellent design of UJ's online BCom in Accounting, I can balance working full-time, studying and still caring for my family. The course material was designed to gradually become more difficult as you progress, with the focus of helping you to understand it before moving to the next portion of work. The support is fantastic, I've never heard of a University calling its students to find out how their studies are going, until seeing and experiencing it myself at UJ. Email queries are responded to within a day or two. The staff is friendly and helpful. No matter what your issue is - they will go the extra mile to assist you. I've even had staff phone me back to follow up. It's unbelievable.

Online study is very convenient and saves time, the technological exposure is fantastic, and the use of software to work in innovative and effective ways. My research, communication, data collection, and writing skills have improved, and the course is very informative and eye-opening. We have excellent support from the coordinators, facilitators, and peers. so much patience, courage and motivation.

Nadine Sass

I enjoyed the ability to work at times that are convenient to me. The materials are thorough and help to gain an understanding of the work. While the lecturers and assistants are always available to support.

Siyabonga Dzingwa

The opportunity to share ideas on Blackboard is great, and lecturer support is always available. The work is well-structured and easy to follow. It was great, and all my issues were resolved.

Marissa Smith

I can work anywhere, the course material is very good and helpful, and Tshidi is the best, always good support.

Keneilwe Moroe

I enjoy the advanced and developed technology they use. The course is very informative and advanced but there are sometimes lots of tasks to do in a short space of time. The support from lecturers was overwhelming,  they wouldn't leave a student unattended if there were queries or misunderstandings. Their commitment towards their work is fulfilling, even the moderators/markers and all the support staff. I also need to applaud the students themselves who always encouraged each other to persevere.

For me, online learning was life-changing as I suffer from low vision, which means I do not have to sit in classes where I cannot make out what's written on the board or projected. Also, the way the course is structured is brilliant. The material is relevant and engaging, I love it! The administrative staff is very friendly and helpful, and lecturers and tutors are good at what they do, they respond to emails and are very helpful in explaining difficult concepts. I'm very happy to study with UJ.

The thing I have enjoyed most about online learning is the flexibility it offers me. It also affords me the ability to arrange my studies around my everyday life and other commitments I might have. The course material I studied was well thought out. I found the material well planned and delivered via video material. The support I have received during my studies has been exceptional. The lecturers and tutors have been an integral part of my success thus far.

Mokgadi Mbethe

I like the easy access to information and the quick responses from the relevant departments in case of a query. Everything is up-to-date, informative and accessible. Excellent.

Pfukani Mzimba

I don't have to attend classes as if I’m learning full-time, and the course is very helpful and informative. Lecturers were also always ready to assist.

Kamohelo Leqele

I love the flexibility. I have a full-time job and having to manage my time to complete my studies is so stress-relieving. The accessibility to the lecturer and study materials is to my advantage as I never miss a class or a chapter. The course is of high quality and I am already applying what I have studied in my daily work life, I can see the improvements in my work life. The support is great, I couldn’t submit a task because of personal reasons I had throughout the week. I emailed the lecturer, and the level of support was good.

Martin van Wyk

The flexibility to work on it when my schedule allows. The Blackboard application is also powerful and manages the content well and we still have enough opportunities for collaboration. The course material was excellent across all of the modules I studied. The combination of reading and videos created an interesting multimedia experience. The course material was generally sufficient to gain knowledge of the subject matter. The support for post-graduate students is excellent and has surpassed my expectations. From coaching to specialised courses, it has been a great experience.

Shanitha Jugmohan

I liked the collaboration sessions and the accessibility of the course content. It was well-organised, comprehensive and easy to understand. The lecturers responded promptly and were very accommodating and helpful at all times. They responded via announcements, email and the student support forum.

James MacKenzie

I enjoyed the ability to work at my own pace and the interactive Blackboard. The course has been exciting and is of a high level.

Marieza Bostander

The convenience of time and working through tests and lecture recordings in your own time is great, while the course is refreshing and interesting. I learned a lot that I was not aware of.

Humbulani Mahadulula

I was able to learn at any time and set my own programme and pace while managing my progress. The course materials were useful and user-friendly and were easily updated with new content relevant to the course.

Sherlock Shabangu

I enjoy the fact that it allows me to study while sitting in my comfort zone. The work is simple to access and understand, and the support is excellent.

Odirile Makinta

What I enjoy most about online learning is that I get all the time to write my assignments without any pressure and I also get some time to prepare myself for the upcoming units. The UJ student support forum is wonderful and also to have a discussion forum where we the students share our opinions about a specific topic makes you feel supported.

Andrew Leshowe

Module 1, I thought I was going to struggle with my studies but I was lying to myself. Everything went well and was simple. The course material was straight to the point and you don't need other materials for information. Our Lectures are very supportive and that's the reason why most of us have passed.

Juwairiyyah Cassim

I like the flexible working times, and the content was challenging but understandable. The support has been excellent and helpful.

Ncamie Zabe

I love doing the work and assignments at a time convenient to me depending on my working schedule but minding the deadline. Also the week of rest in between the modules is really rewarding and gives one time to recharge. The course material was available within the chapters and mostly was reliable and on point. I received the best support from the administration and registration team especially when I had difficulty registering, they were there for me until registration was successful.

Andile Sek

You have access to the lecture content for the duration of the module. The material is excellent and the support is exquisite.

Norine Arends

I get to do assignments in the comfort of my home and I can connect with lectures online and do tasks timeously without any interruptions. We are still busy with interesting course material and the support was top-form and always helpful in times of need.

Pearl Mashabane

I enjoy the flexibility of online study and the material was relevant to the current context and it was contemporary.

Nonofo Madonsela

Online is a very convenient way to learn. It also gives you plenty of time to not only understand the work but complete it too. It was informative.
