September enrolment period

Nearly 300 professional people choose K.I.T. eLearning's online MBA and MSc in IT programs during the September enrolment period

Rotterdam, 10 October, 2001

K.I.T. eLearning announced today that 299 new students registered to take part in its online classrooms during the September enrolment sessions. K.I.T. partners with the University of Liverpool to deliver its MBA and MSc in IT degree programs through a 100% online format, with no residential requirement.

This figure represents the largest enrolment intake in the history of the two online programs and brings the total number of registered students during the current year to more than 750. "When you consider that on January 1, we had 35 enrolled students, and that the MBA program was only launched later that month, we've come a long way," said Chairman and co-C.E.O. Shai Reshef.

"If we're growing in leaps and bounds, despite the economic downturn in the IT sector, where most of our students come from, its because we deliver excellent value at a good price. Both our students and their employers, who, in most cases are the customers, recognize the inherent value proposition".

Mr. Reshef observed, "Why do companies send so many of their best employees to us? First, ours are the most truly international online MBA and MSc in IT programs in the world. Second, our classrooms may be the most truly interactive and collaborative anywhere. We've resolved the eLearning dilemma: "how do you create real exchange online, so that professional people can share insights and experience and collaborate on assignments?". And, third, our learning paradigm is designed to enable each student to achieve his professional best and bring immediate value to his current workplace."

New students are handpicked for classes of 15 to 18 students each, according to a variety of diversity parameters, including their geographic location, industry, job function, years of professional experience, and gender. "With more than 30 nationalities represented, and every continent, this is the most diverse student group we've yet had. Online discussions will be richer than ever," said Yoram Kalman, Senior Vice President and Head of Academic Affairs.
