The concept seeks to provide opportunities, for workers, working mothers, those bringing up a family or those that do not want to give up their social life and people who otherwise will not have access to university education or those that qualify to enter straight but want to have flexibility in their studies to do so, provided they have an intellectual ability to swim through university education.
