Distance Education programs The University of Madras has made massive strides in Distance Education. Today, it offers a wide range of post-graduate degrees, certificate programs, and Diploma Programs. It has to be noted that the scope of these distance education courses is so designed to help those engaged in various professions to update their knowledge and skills.
For example, it offers the B.F.Arts Degree with Music as the specialization. This Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts program is so unique and it has been reported that hundreds of those who are seriously interested in Carnatic or Hindustani music have enrolled in this program, and there are practical classes also conducted for the students of this program.
Similarly, the other famous program on offer is the Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Since the University of Madras enjoys a massive brand image, each of the Distance Education programs of the University has some recognition or the other from the industry.
The MBA and the MCA programs are also quite popular. Inquiries indicate that the MA (Human Rights and Duties Education) has a massive number of lawyers enrolled in it. This is because the course will positively add some value to their knowledge base when they argue their cases. This is particularly true of criminal lawyers.
The MA (Journalism) and the MSc.(Counselling Psychology) courses are also immensely popular. The Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights is also reported to be very popular.
When the New Education Policy becomes applicable and when there are fresh guidelines being framed for Distance Education courses, one can be very confident that the University of Madras will be very much equipped to bring about the effective transition to the better standards of education. - ABSivakumar
