By no means does this imply that education is done over the phone. Instead, it is offered in an online course that allows people to learn from their home or home country. Here are some advantages of doing so.

The obvious would be the convenience. You can study from home, which means that you don't have to go through the stress of waking up early and going to university and such.

Another advantage would be that you can learn at your own pace. This means that nobody is pushing you through a timed and scheduled curriculum. You get your master's when you complete it.
