Universities must find more flexible and cheaper ways to teach, the government has said. Expanding chances for students to study long-distance is one such proposal. For 150 years, the University of London has allowed students unable to travel to the capital to study for one of its external degrees – a system Charles Dickens described as “the people’s university”. Notable alumni include Nelson Mandela, who studied while incarcerated on Robben Island, and five other Nobel Prize winners.
