There are always lots of reasons why you shouldn’t. Here are three good reasons why you should.

It’s your future

Perhaps it’s what you always wanted to do, which is reason enough. But a UK qualification in Design can also be the starting point for a rewarding – and profitable – career. The creative industries are one of the world’s growth sectors, and in uncertain economic times, a better bet than many so-called ‘safer’ professions. And did you know that nearly a quarter of all designers in the UK work on a freelance or self-employed basis, many of them from home-based offices or studios?

Upgrading your qualifications can be a big bonus too. On average, graduates earn up to 47% more than those educated to A level or equivalent standard.

The numbers add up

No, it’s not the cheapest option, but beware diplomas that no one will recognise, and support that’s not there when you need it. You get what you pay for. With us, that means first rate learning materials, lots of one to one support and after all your efforts, a world class qualification valued by employers and universities everywhere.

And it’s worth considering the true cost of going away to university. The British Council estimates the costs for students living away from home to be £9,000 per year (that’s not including course fees). Even with a part time job, the average student will accumulate debt of around £7,000 for each year of study.

The cost of studying with IDI is nearly half that, and we offer a range of payment options, including monthly instalments. Not only that, you can continue to work, and earn, while you study.

We’ve made it easy

Well, as easy as we can. Getting a degree is always hard work, but studying with IDI you won’t have to turn your life upside down as well. You can study from home, and combine your studies with work or family commitments. We bring it all to you – a world beating study environment, great learning materials, fantastic support. All you have to do is log on.
