Tushar is from Indore&nbsp;in India&nbsp;and&nbsp;is managing his&nbsp;remote&nbsp;studies alongside&nbsp;working full time&nbsp;at a project execution and&nbsp;management&nbsp;firm.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We asked Tushar to share some tips from his time studying online with our students who have recently moved from on-campus to&nbsp;studying in virtual classrooms, and with anyone thinking about taking an online course.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read on for&nbsp;Tushar\u2019s&nbsp;advice&nbsp;for&nbsp;making the most of the&nbsp;remote&nbsp;education experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why did you choose to study online?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying online gives you a great opportunity manage your studies alongside your work. It also provides the convenience of studying at your own pace. All lectures remain available throughout the term which gives you the chance to revisit the topics and gain a more thorough understanding.&nbsp;In addition,&nbsp;online campus&nbsp;classrooms are interactive &#8211; you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/future-prof-online-learning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"communicate with lecturers and fellow attendees (opens in a new tab)\">communicate with lecturers and fellow attendees<\/a> which gives you all the positives of being in a physical classroom, while being able to enjoy learning in your own comfortable environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice and tips can you share with students about staying motivated?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep motivated, students must participate in the discussion forums. This also helps with learning and understanding the topics each week \u2013 your questions will help other students and theirs will help you. It\u2019s a mutually beneficial interaction. Plus, classmates can\u00a0help explain the concepts you\u2019re being taught by sharing their own real-life experiences. Interacting with classmates helps keep up motivation and prevents\u00a0you from feeling isolated when\u00a0studying remotely in a virtual environment. And,\u00a0anyway,\u00a0this is important because taking an MBA is not only about studying but also about building a network.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice and tips can you share with students about keeping in touch with classmates and academic staff?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would say creating a WhatsApp group&nbsp;with&nbsp;your class members is the best thing to do. It gives you an opportunity to keep in touch with classmates&nbsp;from all over the globe. We have a WhatsApp group which helped to deepen our bond with each other,&nbsp;and now I feel like I have family in most countries&nbsp;around the world. Sometimes the going can get tough&nbsp;but&nbsp;being connected helped us to keep each other motivated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also,&nbsp;EU Business School&nbsp;has very experienced&nbsp;lecturers&nbsp;and students can reach out to them with any queries through emails, and they always respond in a timely manner.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice and tips can you share with students about studying effectively at home?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Study in a place where you don&#8217;t have other distractions such as TV. It\u2019s important that you create an environment which motivates you rather than pulling you away from your studies.&nbsp; It\u2019s always a good idea to paste some inspiring quotes, pictures of <a href=\"https:\/\/cmoe.com\/blog\/13-of-the-most-influential-leaders-in-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"inspiring business personalities (opens in a new tab)\">inspiring business personalities<\/a> or a picture of something you&nbsp;desire&nbsp;to own in the room where you plan to study. Make sure that you have good internet connectivity that gives you a seamless quality for lectures and does not interrupt or break your learning when you are trying to understand an important concept. You can also keep your favorite snacks or drink nearby while enjoying lectures.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you share a highlight from your experience so far studying online at EU?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying online has helped me to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euruni.edu\/blog\/diversity-in-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"connect with people from diverse nationalities and professional experience (opens in a new tab)\">connect with people from diverse nationalities and professional experience<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have learned a lot about the business culture&nbsp;in&nbsp;different countries which has&nbsp;equipped me well to work in a globalized business world. The lecturers themselves have a rich experience in their respective subject areas and come from all over the world, which adds to the academic strength of EU Business School.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my studies I have connected with people who are working in globally known FMCG companies, automobile industries, multinational banks, oil and gas industries, the medical profession, the aerospace industry and in fashion brands, advertising and PR companies, to name a few.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What advice would you give to someone who has just started studying online?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Develop a well distributed plan for your studies so that you can fully leverage the benefits of the flexibility of studying online. Be proactive so that you stay on top of the&nbsp;course&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;taking.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you think is the best thing about doing a course online?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studying online provides flexibility in learning and you can attend lectures in your own comfortable surroundings. Being in a relaxed environment increases our ability to learn efficiently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking an online course has helped me to overcome the barriers to studying&nbsp;and has provided an international environment which I can experience&nbsp;at&nbsp;just the click of a button. And on a lighter note, it also makes it possible for you to attend lectures in your pajamas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Considering an online course?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re still considering taking an online course and would like to know more,&nbsp;check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/online.euruni.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"online campus (opens in a new tab)\">online campus<\/a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;programs&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;available.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our online campus uses cutting-edge technology to make the experience smooth and flexible, so you can fit your studies around your life.
