Whether distance learning is right for you depends on your learning strategies, time management skills, and personal motivation. The Online Self-Assessments (OSA) offered by the FernUniversität in Hagen provide you with a structured reality check. They help you determine whether your expectations align with the reality of daily student life. The results will help you better assess your suitability for distance learning in general, as well as for specific fields of study (such as psychology, law, or mathematics).
