Said Dr. Jonathan P. Britt, Head of Technology Extended Campus of the University of Portsmouth, "The University is offering these scholarships to enable students who might not otherwise be able to undertake the final year of this hugely successful online degree programme in Computing run in partnership with PurpleTrain.com".
The University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom is ranked among the top new universities, according to the May 2002 edition of the Times Good University Guide. It is also one of the founders of providing quality online education. The BSc (Hons) in Computing is a final year direct honours degree programme, delivered via e-Learning on PurpleTrain.com. This scholarship is entirely based on merit.
The programme will be run entirely online through PurpleTrain.com.
E-Learning is ideal for working professionals and allows them to
adjust their study commitments around their busy work schedules
which might sometimes require them to juggle social life and work
simultaneously. It also allows students to access and download course
materials from PurpleTrain.com. Transcending global barriers, students
can interact with course facilitators and fellow classmates all
around the world through online chat sessions, discussion threads
and email. As an additional advantage of flexibility, project assignments
are also submitted online. These are just some of the advantages
which will benefit students who are unable to attend regular scheduled
classes. Important Things to Note:
Please indicate "UOP Scholarship" on the top left corner of envelope. Incomplete applications will not be processed. Only shortlisted applicants will be notified. Checklist of supporting documents (photocopies) to be included
