Distance Education is a learning method prepared as an alternative to traditional learning methods. In this method, there are efficient programs developed for students. It is an institutional education activity in which students, teachers and teaching materials in different places are brought together through communication technologies. Thus, students who want to continue their education life can easily continue their education through information technologies without making any spatial changes.
At Bradford University, passing a class is based on projects, not exams. A project topic is given to students based on the courses they take in certain periods. These project assignments are graded. In this way, the student's course success is determined. With this method, students are also asked and provided to use the information they have acquired concretely.

As BCU, our first desire is to offer the most attractive learning opportunities to those who cannot study due to social and economic reasons; or to our citizens who are currently working but want to study in a new department. In addition, the student is exempt from the expenses spent on formal education in distance education. For example, city change expenses, accommodation expenses and travel expenses.
