Nadia | MA Physical Education
Dr Timothy Mallard | PhD Theology (Christian Ethics)
Alison Chester-Lambert | MA Cultural Astronomy and Astrology
Surely one of the greatest benefits of the internet is education. As the mother and carer of a child with disabilities, I had a few local options to study, but nothing like the opportunities presented by TSD distance learning.
It has opened up a vast reservoir of possibilities for those like me who could never have hoped to access such speciality subjects before.

Andrew Oberg | MA Applied Philosophy
My name is Andrew Oberg and I am on the MA in programme as a distance student.

Geraldine Heil | MA Cultural Astronomy & Astrology
I absolutely love being a MRes Cultural Astronomy and Astrology student and consider myself to be privileged to learn such a wonderful subject and also to ultimately gain a post graduate qualification here at TSD.

Susanne Beyer | MA Celtic Studies
My name is Susanne Beyer and I live near Braunschweig in Germany. After completing a BA in Anthropology and Welsh last year, I am currently studying for an MA in Celtic Studies – again through distance learning. This is the only way for me to study at the moment because I have three children. We live in a rural area and the nearest university focuses on technical subjects.
