Dear Colleagues,
University “VITEZ” Travnik provides you with distance learning. This type of study is performed entirely in accordance to the regular curriculum. Students are awarded with diplomas after graduation. In comparison to regular type of studies, the difference is that students do not have to attend lectures, but may listen to lectures via computer technology, internet and WEB site of University at any time and at any distance. Students are only required to physically and personally attend written examinations.
Advantages of distance learning:
- 1. learning pace - students go through learning materials as fast and as many times they desire,
- 2. learning time - students may access learning materials via WEB site seven days a week, 24 hours a day,
- 3. learning place– computer location (at home, at work, etc.),
- 4. individual learning - students may study by themselves and perform other student obligations,
- 5. Practical work by means of various technologies, and
- 6. the possibility of contact with professors and assistants (e-mail, telephone, etc.).
There are four faculties available at our University:- 1. Faculty of Business Economics (six courses)
- 2. Faculty of Business Informatics (two courses)
- 3. Faculty of Law (two courses)
- 4. Faculty of Health Care (four courses)
More details on course programs may be found on the website of each faculty. Also, the curriculum is available in the same way. Distance learning will begin with admissions to the first year of study in the academic year 2010/2011. Admissions to a higher year of study will be made in the following year. More information on distance learning, accumulation of points, written examinations, grading system and study metrics may be found in the Study Rules for the first cycle (Article 54 and 55).
Students are provided with: - teaching content and curriculum,
- 30 lectures (lessons) recorded in audio and video form ( 30 minutes duration),
- the list of topics for seminar papers,
- the list of topics for essay or case studies,
- eadlines for written examinations and submission of papers, and
- literature.
Distance learning is still limited via study metrics determined by schedule of lectures. Two subjects are taught simultaneously in the same period which lasts for 45 days. By finishing and passing examinations concerning those subjects, students are introduced with 2 new subjects. After the termination date subject is removed from distance learning system and students must wait till September or October in order to sit again for those examinations. Rules for the first cycle studies are applied during admission to distance learning, preparation of graduate paper, performing practice, etc. Dear Colleagues, I wish you successful and efficient studies on the basis of distance learning.
