Which English term matches the German 'Fernstudium'?

• A. Graduate
• B. Fellow Student
• C. Distance Learning
• D. Undergraduate

Answer: (C)

Fernstudium describes studying at a distance, meaning you don’t attend a campus in person. The best English match is Distance Learning because it names the mode of study itself—the remote, often online coursework and interaction—rather than a student’s status or a peer. The other terms refer to different ideas: graduate and undergraduate describe levels of study or student status, while fellow student means another student, not the study format. In practice, a Fernstudium often uses online lectures and remote assignments to complete a degree.
