Sustainability

Our objectives with regard to sustainability revolve around three priorities: raising awareness, creating a sense of responsibility and supporting.

It is therefore a matter of raising the awareness of students and employees in respect of sustainable development, giving them the means to act and standing alongside them when they take initiatives to that end.

We support those of our students that take part in U-change, a programme to encourage student initiatives aimed at sustainable development. We inform our students whenever a call for proposals is issued and can answer their questions related to submitting project proposals .

UniDistance Suisse has set up a new Sustainability Service as a point of contact for students and staff members, who can seek counsel regarding their sustainable projects and help in making their ideas come to life.

Our flexible distance learning courses are accessible to people in situations that would not allow them to study at a more conventional university.

This concerns, among others:

• people who are working and who aspire to better professional prospects
• people who are busy looking after their family and who will go back to work when their children have grown up
• people with reduced mobility who can study at home and, thus, reduce their need to travel
• people living a long way away from urban centres, who can study at home, thereby reducing the need to travel.
• elite athletes, sportsmen and sportswomen who are preparing for their career change.

Through the range of courses, programmes and services we offer, we contribute to equal opportunities and to lifelong learning.

Find out how studies work at UniDistance Suisse and get in touch with us if you require particular arrangements or support for your studies.

Our human resources policy also embodies this determination to achieve equality and balance.

UniDistance Suisse represents an opportunity for the economic development of the canton of Valais: it draws talented people to the region by creating attractive jobs. It also addresses the lack of skilled and qualified employees through its state-of-the-art programmes of studies. Finally, it offers the possibility of taking a course in tandem with work, thus contributing to the professional retraining of working people.
