Over nearly 20 years since its establishment, the Center for Distance Education has taken pride in pioneering the application of advanced technology in higher education.

The Vice President, Assoc.

He also emphasized that, in achieving success over the next four years, students’ own initiative, active engagement, and eagerness to learn would determine 80% of their success. The University’s highly qualified and experienced lecturers and academic administrators would support and accompany them, contributing the remaining 20%. “I believe that the NEU E-Learning program will bring you genuine value and help you create your own pathways to future success.”
