complete a qualification at their own pace.

Similar to the qualifications offered on campus, anyone who complies with the basic requirements and can pay the fees, can apply for these online studies. The six start dates per year allow students six opportunities to apply and begin their studies within a specific year. These qualifications range from the Bachelor of Commerce in International Accounting and the Bachelor of Human Resource Management, to Advanced Diplomas in Financial Markets, Transportation Management, Logistics, and People Performance Management. At the highest level, these 100% online qualifications include the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Bachelor of Education Honours in Education Leadership and Management (both with the first intake in January 2021), and the following three already well- established Masters programmes: Master of Education in Educational Management, Master of Education in Information and Communication Technology and Master of Public Health. The UJ fully online students who graduated this year were able to grow their careers while doing so on a part-time basis. With the COVID-19 lockdowns nationally and internationally, the enrolled students were able to complete their studies without interruptions. These online qualifications are designed for individuals who prefer to study fully online while they are either at home or as working professionals who wish to grow their careers while tending to other responsibilities in their lives. Looking ahead, Prof Ryan says, "We are looking forward to welcome even more students from our country, the whole of Africa and worldwide who would like to invest in these flexible, lifestyle accommodating and value-adding higher education opportunities."
