Hi!

Do you know if it is possible to take PhD in distance learning? How does it work then?

HEllo Kiori,

It can possibly be done. at my university there's no problem doing it as long as u r always in touch with ur supervisor (phone, mail, fax...). I don't know if it's the same thing in other universities.

Hi - I am sort of distance learning. I keep in touch with emails and Skype but I have also attended for a few months too. I think you need to discuss it with your potential supervisor to see if it is workable!

I'm not so clear about this part: do you mean PhD in Distance learning or PhD by distance learning? If its the former, then I guess you would go through a school eg. School of Education in XYZ University to do a phd in distance learning. If its the latter, yes its possible :-) first check out which schools offer phd by distance learning: for example the School of Distance Education in ABC University; next check out what's offered; type of phd, supervisors and how they run their distance education. I went through distance learning; the university had a very effective methodology/ pedagogy with exams running and compulsory on-campus time etc.
Cheers, satchi.
