I enrolled in UoPeople as a Business Administration student and quickly experienced a unique platform of learning whereby I was exposed to other cultures because you’re in a course with other students from all around the world. This was exciting as I heard various perspectives about business and how it’s approached worldwide. There were weekly forums wherein specific topics were discussed amongst peers which created an interesting dialogue. I enjoyed this because I’d often learn from other individuals that could provide valuable industry knowledge.
Peer assessment was part of the grading system at UoPeople and this aspect prepared me for interactions in a workplace environment with colleagues, for example, or performance reviews. I found it both helpful and frustrating at times but it was a good way to navigate apposing views and how to advocate for them.
I would highly recommend UoPeople to any individual looking to further their higher education but feels financially restricted. With UoPeople, I was able to complete an undergraduate degree part-time without paying any tuition. I received a valuable education and only paid partial assessment fees. I am grateful to UoPeople for the opportunity and invite everyone to embark on a tuition-free journey to higher education.
