Learning model
Built around a working week
Live sessions run late in the evening and across an extended weekend, so they sit outside office hours rather than across them. Every session is recorded and stays in the LMS for your full programme duration - a missed class is recoverable, not lost.

Late night & extended weekend
Weeknight slots after office hours, plus the weekend - weekly during academic terms
Self-paced LMS
8-10 hours weekly
VGU Learning Platform - works on mobile and desktop
Cohort & mentor
110-140 learners per batch
Monthly 1-on-1 with a programme mentor
Live and recorded classes
Academic and tech support
Custom learning paths
Peer projects and forums
Multilingual AI lectures
Faculty interaction
The pedagogy commitments above are as published in the official programme brochure. Weekly hours and cohort size are as published on the current Online VGU build; the exact live-session days and timings are confirmed at cohort allocation.
