Who we are

Get to know us better

Through ODL, LUANAR is providing chances to the working class and secondary school leavers who would otherwise not find space or time for full time conventional education an opportunity to combine work, business, home life and study without excluding the prospect of resuming advanced university level studies. Studying through ODL is advantageous in that it reduces cost of education resulting from averted costs associated with teaching space, accommodation and non-academic functions. It also increases enrollment and efficient use of personnel remotely.

Our Mission

Other advantages of ODL include multiple entries and exits where students work at their own pace while maintaining university standards; no limitations in terms of age, gender, physical ability and status of aspiring students. You work and earn a living while you study and earn your desired degree.
