Good, offers flexibility and requires hard work
September 17, 2011
This is a degree done in partnership between Laureate and the University of Liverpool. Laureate deals with the finances and provide a sturdy technical infrastructure to facilitate the online presentation of this degree. Liverpool University issues the degrees, formulates the module syllabi and review the assignment of grades by the instructors. The response I’ve received from course administrators has been prompt and efficient. A high degree of professionalism is maintained by the instructors and tutors ...

Not a walk in the park, but efficient.
May 16, 2011
The program was indeed not a walk in the park. There is a lot to hand in and it is understandable that they want it like that: you hand in often so that it is impossible for you to assign your tasks to someone else. For students who are already working and have a family life it is well shaped I guess, as you have no exams on a fixed date. There are deadlines, and ...

Hard, but worth it.
November 4, 2010
I’m in my seventh course with the University of Liverpool online program. Overall I am very happy with the program. Most of the text books that are used are very good. The lecture notes are usually very good as well. I would really like to see a recorded video or audio lecture instead of just a document. I am in the MSc in Information Systems Management, and they have done a good job of incorporating ...

Not all it could (or should) be
May 23, 2010
I mostly agree with the comments posted on June 2, 2009. Like others have said, you will be expected to work quite hard for this course, but you shouldn't necessarily equate "hard work" with "quality". Sometimes it is, but quite often it's not. E.g. I spend several hours each week responding to discussions from fellow students which really aren't worth a response. Unfortunately you have to do this in order to keep your participation level ...

Master of Science i n Information Systems Manageme
February 8, 2010
Expect to work very hard and put in many hours per week. You'll be putting many hours of research on a weekly basis and doing an enormous amount of writing and critical thinking. So, far I am very satisfied with the quality of the program and am looking forward to my upcoming courses. I have been employed in IT for 15 years within a large corporation as a supervisor.

Don't Be Sucked In Too
June 2, 2009
I'm a seasoned IT type and have been told throughout my career I have high standards. Just a quick intro to help put my comments into context. I am in the midst of the Liverpool Laureate Online program and fell for the accreditation and other referential collateral but have to say that I am frequently and periodically disappointed with this expensive offering. Simply put, the instructors would be better called posters although if you try ...

Information Security
January 6, 2009
As i begin my last module before the dissertation, i can say the workload in this program is quite intense if you work. It is no different than a regular full time program with all the research and open end questions, projects, and assignments that stirrs up the brain grey matter and keep you adding more and more, and the more you add the more you have to prove, discuss, document cite and reference correctly. ...
