Voices of Distant Learning

Pascale Wagner
Graduate of the Bachelor in Psychology, student Master in Psychology
Vaulting athlete
«My passion for vaulting keeps me busy full-time. As I train many hours every day, distance learning was perfect for me. I was able to study in parallel with my sporting career without giving up either.
As there was very little compulsory attendance for my studies, I was able to take part in the biggest tournaments in Switzerland and abroad. And I qualified for championships and world cups.
Distance learning adapts to our lives. Everyone can learn according to their needs, without feeling alone. At UniDistance Suisse, I felt really supported. Distance learning? I'd recommend it to anyone!»

Frequently asked questions by athletes about distance studies
Distance learning gives you the flexibility you need to study alongside your athletic career.
You study at the time and day that suits you best, and in the place that is ideal for you: at home, at the hotel, on the train, on the plane…. Your study therefore adapts perfectly to your training and competition schedule.
In addition, studying can paradoxically help you in sport because you will find a balance by working your mind as much as your body.
You don't have classes in the classic sense of the term, but your teaching teams regularly invite you to virtual classes on Zoom or to face-to-face group sessions. You must attend three of these per term to register for the exams, which usually gives you a sufficient choice of dates.
Exams are always held on Saturday, at the end of each term. Right now they take place online. If you cannot attend due to training or competition, inform your dean who will exempt you. You can do this another time.
