PurpleTrain.com Broadens 2D/3D Artist's Horizons

2D/3D artist Mustafa P. from Pakistan is a person who loves to experience new things. Thus, when given the option to study the e-Learning way via PurpleTrain.com, he grabbed at the chance.

Mustafa had recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies and wanted to embark on a final year bachelor degree programme in computing. He had the choice of going the traditional route of classroom learning or e-Learning. He finally decided on undertaking the BSc (Hons) in Computing from the University of Portsmouth via PurpleTrain.com as he saw it as a chance to get a reputable degree from a foreign tertiary institution without having to leave home.

At first, Mustafa was worried about not having the physical presence of a lecturer. However, once he embarked on the programme, his confidence was boosted as he was spurred on to do more research and read up more on the subjects he was studying.

He found that he was learning things that he could not have picked up in a classroom setting,

"e-Learning gives you the opportunity to explore and increase the level of communication. One of the advantages of this mode is that it lets you interact with many different students and instructors who are well versed in their fields. Apart from this, if you wish to work and study at the same time, e-Learning is the route to take."

This freelance 2D/3D artist finds it easy to plan his time with e-Learning and that he has the time to do the other things that he wants to. The flexibility of e-Learning route certainly lets Mustafa live up to his maxim by William Arthur Ward "If you can imagine it you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it."
