“The educational platform is rich and the education depends mainly on self-learning. Discipline and consistency are the keys to success in all modules.”
“RKC is an excellent enabler at furthering ones education and building one's competencies. RKC's programmes are flexible and fit-for-purpose. Highly recommended to enroll to the programmes to have an upper competitive notch in the job market and to continue expanding one's learning curve.”
“My experience was unique, as I often worked until 8pm, rushed home to sleep briefly, and then woke up at 4am every day to study until 6:30am before getting ready for work. It was a truly bittersweet experience, but in the end, it was fulfilling, and I am grateful to RKC for the opportunity. If it was not an online program, I could not have been able to do this, because of my very busy work schedule. ”
“Hello Prospective Student Disclaimer: the following experience(s) indicated are solely individually based and such views may or may not be expressed by the university / college in question. All the views expressed are based on the individuals specific program undertaken with RKC Multiple reasons as to why I opted for Robert Kennedy College to pursue my Master's in International Commercial Law One reason was "time flexibility". You can complete the Master's degree within a year or extend it to 3 years. I completed my Master's during the 3 years of Covid (2020 - 2023) The other factor which I experienced was "number of students to professor" ratio. Per module (total 4 modules in my program), there were approximately 15 odd students per professor. Considering that the Master's programs offered by RKC are high octane / intense in nature (you get only get 3 weeks for group assignment and 3 week for individual assignment), the lesser number of students to professor ratio, made things easier for students when communicating and receiving assistance from the professor. The turnaround was very swift. I am not aware about other programs offered by RKC, however, for my program "LLM Int'l Commercial Law", the number of modules were very streamlined - only 4 modules + dissertation as opposed to other universities where you have to undertake 5 or even 6 optional modules + dissertation. How are the modules taught? Recorded lectures with PDF lecture notes. Easy to follow? Subjective as each student will have their own views. My own personal view I was fine with it and I shall explain to you why as follows: One very good thing with RKC is they will provide you with a 14 days "trial account", like an orientation before you begin / start anything. You will login into their system and they will have assigned 1 module within your chosen field of study, which you can download and get a feel of the online campus environment. If I remember correctly (I could be wrong), but you would even get access to the live questions posed by students directly to the professor. So you will get a feel of the interaction between students and the professor When I was assigned this "trial account", I ensured I made full use of it, the entire 14 days and whatever queries I had, I made sure to take it up with the respected admin department. This "trail account" or orientation was very helpful for me to understand how this online campus actually works The professors are super helpful. The turnaround time from question to answer is within 24 hours. My professors for my LLM program would conduct zoom sessions to help us understand the group and individual assignments and what was really required in & out of the assignments, so this was a MAJOR plus. My sincerest and deepest gratitude to my most respected 2 professors. Downside of RKC? Very subjective. Each student will have their own negative experiences. I can only speak about my program and not any other programs offered by RKC. For my LLM in International Commercial Law, my negative experience was the online library with University of Salford where 15 odd students could only have access to 1 book and you had to technically "stand in line". This was very irritating considering you only have 3 weeks for group & 3 weeks for individual assignments. Waiting for 1 book, I would pull my hair out. Online library with UoS is an absolute mess Again keeping with my own program, the "suggested reading material" stipulated in the recorded lectures or PDF lecture notes never coincided with the assignment. This was an issue faced by every student in all my 4 modules. We noticed the reading material shown or indicated at the end of the video / PDF lecture had zero correlation with the assignment. I spent close to USD1,000 purchasing the reading material, but after receiving the assignment, the purchased reading material was actually of no use. These have been my personal experiences, some good, some unexpected. But overall it was fun, I really enjoyed my 3 years with RKC. Have you ever been on one of this "thrill" rides at an amusement park? Where after the "thrill" ride you suddenly have this new adrenaline? Master programs with RKC are like that. Intense and hopefully fun. Any questions, please do kindly feel free to ask. Thank you so much and hopefully welcome you aboard this wonderful "thrill" ride.”
“The college's staff and faculty have been supportive from the start. When I needed anything, they were supportive and always responded to my emails or WhatsApp messages within a day. I earned a master's degree in project management, and I can't pretend that it didn't help me improve my skills and build confidence in my profession. I am incredibly happy and grateful for the chance to study with RKC and its academic partners. At this point in my career, the conventional "roadmap" would not have made it possible for me to accomplish this. To everyone reading this, I encourage you to begin your journey at RKC since it is a great college with nice people and friendly people, and you can be sure that everyone there will support you no matter what and will always be there to assist you. If you have any questions about my experiences of studying with RKC, I would be happy to share them with you. ”
“I decided to set out to study MSc International Business with Law from RKC, because of the flexibility in combination with my busy legal schedule. The WhatsApp group with my colleagues back then was very informative and of great assistance during my study. Also, the College student Care was equally helpful with prompt responses to questions and solving problems. It was great interacting with professors and students from different works of life, and they brought to bear their knowledge and know-how. Overall it was a great experience and has given me more knowledge and insights as well as Confidence in my profession and career. I recommend RKC to other prospective students.”
“The flexibility of handling the modules and yet with very strict timelines that instill discipline. The approach to the modules encourages thinking ability and originality. I enjoyed especially team spirit/work coupled with very experienced tutors. The turn around time in responding to queries by the RCK student help was really amazing.”
“The time I spent studying online was a new and memorable experience for me. The major part of my studies was done during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic era; but the flexible study timings, the provision of relevant study materials and the periodic assessments helped in enhancing knowledge and the mastery of the subject matter during the period. Prospective students should take advantage of the flexible and structured mode of study by opting for the most convenient study duration pattern. ”
“RKC really gave me the opportunity to engage deeply with my prior knowledge and expanding it through structured modules and interactions during residency to enable me to obtain my MSc. It is the best place I have ever studied at.”
