Powered by Kaplan Financial, DBS can offer every student access to MyKaplan - a personalised study space which offers additional content to help structure studies outside of the timetabled class.
What is Live Online?
Take part in Live classes online from wherever you are, all delivered by expert Kaplan tutors. And if you can't make it to the live class - don't worry, every session is recorded so you can watch them back later.
Who's it for?
This is perfect if you want the structure of a traditional timetabled classroom course, but you can't get to a class - because Live Online brings the classroom to you in real time.
Study Text and Exam Kits
Study Text and Exam Kits are provided as online versions only via the BibliU app.
BibliU gives students more accessible features than a printed book, including the ability to change the background colour, font size and listen via ‘read aloud’, as well as the search, highlight, an in-built dictionary, and comment features. Not to mention the environmental benefits and ability to access their book from any location at any time. Learn more about how to access BibliU and the benefits included in the platform.
What materials do you get? What you get depends on the course and study method you’ve chosen. Whilst studying with Kaplan, you will be sure to get everything you need to succeed, including practice questions, mock exams and unrivalled academic support to help you prepare and pass your exams. All of this is supported by your study materials.
