‘Students like the challenge of MATH 199,
which reinforces calculus skills and
introduces new topics such as matrices
and vectors. The staff that run the
programme are highly organised and
helpful. I would highly recommend it to
any other schools in New Zealand.’

Delivery of distance courses
Distance courses allow you to experience UC
from the comfort of your home.
Each distance course has a dedicated course
website on Learn, UC’s online learning
management system.
If you’re Ōtautahi Christchurch-based and
enrolled in a distance course, you can complete
the course online (although you will need
to sit any final exams or formal tests on the
UC campus).
Alternative exam/test arrangements will be
made for those outside the Ōtautahi area, at a
location closer to home.

‘Doing COMS 102 at a distance has been a great
introduction to university. Despite the distance

my lecturer, Donald Matheson, has been very helpful
