What it is about
Studying whenever and wherever you like sounds like maximum freedom. But how flexible is online study really, and can it actually be combined with a demanding working life? In the eighth episode of Fernstudium Talk, hosts Lars Ritter and Nina Leidigkeit take a closer look at online study with WINGS-Fernstudium.
Their guests are Jennifer Janiska from the WINGS student advisory service and Janna Grimm and Laura Gloning, who both play professional football for TSG Hoffenheim and study at WINGS. Together they discuss how study and elite sport fit together, what options there are for planning exams, how self-organisation and personal support work in online study, and where even a flexible study model reaches its limits.
The group also takes on common prejudices: is distance learning a “real” degree at all, and are tuition fees really as high as many people assume?
