The EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) has been developed to "bring the university to the student instead of the student to the university". Advances in satellite, cellular and Internet technology especially are revolutionising the way and speed with which knowledge is transferred and provide a cost-effective alternative to the traditional “contact-based” methodology associated with residential or campus-based universities - a trend implemented by universities and award institutions all over the world.
Online learning is now delivered via a computer/tablet/cellphone and web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, MS-Edge etc) that is accessed via cellular, satellite, optic-fibre connection, or traditional telephone connections.
The ability to learn remotely (online) via the Internet gives hundreds of thousands of people across the UK and worldwide the opportunity to continue their education where they may not otherwise get the chance. Flexibility is one of the key advantages of online learning and provides students with the opportunity to choose the hours and location of study, allowing them to fit their education around work or family life or any other commitments they may have.
The EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) provides the student with the option of guided online-Learning via live interactive lecture feed; video-conferencing and pre-recorded lecture sessions supported by virtual tutor assistance and/or contact lectures at UK-University campuses in the final stages of the study. Online training programs involve creating learning content in the form of presentations, interactive content, audio/video and the “virtual classroom” concept which allows the student or learner to access academic study material tutoring as well as online assessments in the comfort of his/her selected home or work environment. Online Learning makes it possible to obtain the same qualification you would receive when you attended campus or a residential university - but without the excessive costs and logistical burdens associated with daily campus visitation. The EduVisa EduNet University Platform provides the registered student with access to his/her own student portal. It covers the full academic functionality spectrum and educational support services associated with a normal residential university/education institution.
When you access the EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) you automatically will have access to your EduVisa Student Portal. From your Student Portal you will be able to access the complete range of academic activities required to complete the course/qualification you have enrolled in including the following:
- Notifications from the Academic Section to guide your academic progress.
- Notices from the Account Section pertaining to the status of your student account.
- Messages from your Online Tutor to assist you with course content issues and clarification of academic concepts.
- Curriculum and Course Content relevant to your specific course.
- PowerPoint Presentations (Online/PDF).
- Study Manuals (Online/PDF).
- Video/Vimeo presentations.
- Online Tests, Assignments, Assessments and Examinations.
- Pre-recorded lectures.
- Interactive online group sessions simulating the class environment.
- An updated history of your academic performance.
Please Note: Always keep your Login and Password secure and do not allow other persons to access your student portal.
Visit our EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS), open a "User Account" and enroll on the Demo Portal to experience the ease of the EduVisa EDUNET online academic process.
An online learning tutor is an expert academic mentor who is there to help and advice when needed. EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) is AI-driven (Artificial Intelligence) and "flags" the online tutor to assist and guide the student when intervention is required. Upon enrolment, students are assigned an academic tutor/lecturer who will serve as the primary point of contact throughout the period of study. This tutor may be anywhere in the world depending on the specific course you have registered for.
EduVisa tutors have all been carefully selected for their academic subject knowledge and ability to deliver professional academic assistance via distance learning. Each tutor works as part of a wider specialist team, so you always receive the support you need. Your tutor is dedicated to answering email enquiries as soon as possible, marking your assignments and advising you regarding deadlines that must be met. The relationship developed between tutor and student in an online or distance learning environment varies a lot. Some people are happy to work on their own with little help or guidance, whereas others regularly draw on their tutor for support.
The EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) also integrates with other universities and academic institutions and links with our affiliated international university partners that form part of the EduVisa University Network. The EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) thus allows you to speak to your tutor or lecturer by email, phone, Skype or any of the interactive live-video platforms like Zoom, MS Teams or Telegram via the integrated online communication/message function. This enables the tutor/lecturer to interact with the student in a “virtual classroom” environment. Around 80% of academic communication and direct/indirect teaching takes place via email or the online message system and covers the full spectrum of academic support and services associated with a residential or traditional contact-session class environment.
Students should therefore remember to visit the Student Portal regularly in order to access the online message system, through which they will regularly receive updates from their tutor/lecturer.

As an Online Student, you will benefit from years of research that have been utilised to develop a state-of-the-art virtual university system that incorporates the latest technology and advances in tertiary education. Thousands and thousands of students worldwide have gained diplomas, degrees, post-degree, and professional qualifications online. The EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) ensures that the student gets the most from his/her online learning.
You can access the EduVisa Virtual University System (EVUS) on your mobile phone, laptop, desktop, or notepad if you have Internet connectivity. The beauty of online learning is that you can study wherever and whenever you please. With no physical classes to attend, you must feel confident that you are able to keep on top of your workload. To do that, you need self-motivation and self-discipline. As with regular, on-campus learning, online courses have deadlines that must be met, and suitable time management will play a significant role in helping you to meet those deadlines and make a success of your studies.
Research shows that studying at the same time each day helps to form a sustainable study habit, which will accelerate the completion of your studies. It is important to establish a personal study routine from day one. You schedule your own “class times” and will be helpful to turn studying into a habit by setting aside dedicated time each day or week. Initially, this may be challenging, but after a while, it will start to feel perfectly natural, even effortless.
You can use your diary to create a study schedule for the coming week(s) using a chart or your regular diary by treating each study session as if it were an important meeting - the kind of appointment you'd never dream of breaking. It is amazing how many minutes per day the average person wastes while travelling on the bus, waiting for somebody at the coffee shop or simply idling away. “Learn to make the minutes count if you want to become the star of the hour"! Utilise the power of your TAB, mobile phone, or notebook (for study purposes it is sometimes more practical to opt for a smaller or lighter laptop or notebook rather than a heavy, clumsy one that is difficult to carry around) that you can use while flying or travelling.
People’s learning styles vary dramatically, and what works for someone else may not work for everybody. For example, you may be the kind of person who is more alert in the morning, in which case it makes sense to maximise that time. Similarly, if you learn better later in the day, then plan most of your study during the evening. If you’re not sure what time will suit you best, then think about your current daily routine. Remember that there is a difference between “being familiar with a certain text or section of the work” and being able to “reproduce that section of the work” in an examination environment where you may have to perform within a time limit.
Research clearly shows that t is better to study in short bursts rather than cram everything into one long session. Limit your sessions to between 40 and 50 minutes, and take a five-minute break at the end of that time. Remember to regularly stand up, stretch, walk around, and get the blood flowing instead of staying seated.
When it comes to assignment writing, you may need to set aside longer periods of time. You will certainly find assignments easier if you create a plan and make notes of what you intend to include for each aspect of your answer. This way, if you do your assignment over a period, you won’t have to duplicate effort and time working out what you want to do.
Although you’re studying online, there is no reason to struggle alone if you get stuck. Your personal tutor is only an email away and is always happy to have an online tutorial with you.
EduVisa Graduate School of Management has introduced an Open Educational Resources (OER) or colloquially known as a Zero-textbook cost (ZTC) programme. This constitutes a comprehensive academic trajectory towards the attainment of a degree, certificate, or credential, devoid of any associated textbook expenses. Within these academic pathways, all courses exclusively utilize open curriculum-mapped educational resources (OER) or alternative instructional materials that incur zero costs for students. This can result in a notable reduction of up to 35% in the overall cost of studies.
Open Educational Resources (OER) study programmes epitomize institutional dedication to substantial investment in open education as a facilitative tool for fostering student success. The advantages extend beyond financial savings for students and encompass the following key dimensions:
- Affordable, Accessible and Accredited Studies: The introduction of the OER programme supports the underlining philosophy of EDUVISA to make university-level management studies more affordable and accessible without compromising on international benchmark accreditation status. In practical terms this means that students are provided with publisher-based textbook options as well as online access to supportive study manuals and secondary study resources enabling them to succeed in their studies without the additional burden of high textbook costs.
-
Enhancement of Student Equity: Empirical research demonstrates that exorbitant textbook costs detrimentally affect student accessibility, achievement, and completion, especially among economically disadvantaged students. Elevated textbook expenses often compel students to curtail their course loads, withdraw from classes, or attempt to navigate academic requirements without acquiring the necessary textbooks, resulting in suboptimal academic performance. This approach, in combination with the traditional publisher-based textbook approach, increases access to subject content to the benefit of our students.
-
Facilitation of Student Completion: Students enrolled in OER courses exhibit an increased propensity to enrol in a greater number of credits during a given semester and at least one subsequent semester. This trend suggests that OER implementation contributes to an accelerated completion of degree or certificate programs.
-
Advancement of Academic Freedom: The utilization of OER, characterized by open licenses, affords faculty members the liberty to regularly modify, update, and adapt learning resources for their respective courses. This departure from the constraints imposed by expensive publisher textbooks allows faculty to harness diverse OERs, remixing them to align with specific learning outcomes.
-
Fostering Open Pedagogy: Faculty members are empowered to engage students in the collaborative modification and revision of OER used within a course. This participatory approach includes activities such as revising materials, generating test questions, and creating learning resources for future cohorts. The integration of students as content creators not only deepens their comprehension but also contributes to improved educational outcomes.
