Students within travelling distance of Stirling can arrange interviews and attend tutorials. Those living farther afield are supported by a range of methods, depending on distance and circumstances. Each enrolled student is given a set of studies. Telephone contact can be a good way of dealing with specific study problems. E-mail is becoming a popular medium for the exchange of academic material.
Great distances are no longer an insurmountable barrier to degree and graduate level studies.
