The advantage of the distance learning, introduced at the University consists in its adaptability to a wide variety of organizational forms, probably being even more numerous than the ones in the traditional, on- campus, setting. It is due to this variety of structures for the courses, the technologies deployed and the ways of active engagement of students into the educational process that the particular needs and limitations of the entities or individual students could be more precisely discerned and taken account of in making a choice of the forms for the distance learning provided.to ensure an optimum match.
Every year sees an increase in the number of foreign students who take a course of study at Odessa State Environmental University under the extramural form or by the instrumentality of distance learning thus making the geographical coverage of countries, the representatives of which have chosen OSENU to obtain a higher education, more spacious.

Constant increase in the information flow requires of a specialist of today to update and improve his own special knowledge, to study new technologies, required for a successful professional activity.
Since 1995, on the basis of the Center Continuing Studies has been provided (Specialist and Master degrees of higher education), professional development courses have been conducted for the specialists of the structural subdivisions of hydrometeorological and hydrographic services of Ukraine, state inspectors of environmental control, specialists in development of schemes for multipurpose management of water resources and control of the pollution of air, rivers, lakes, water reservoirs and seas, specialists in the field of economics, environmental and computer science.
Teaching for the trainees at the Centre of Continuing Studies is carried out under the programmes developed at the University in collaboration with the responsible departments, institutions and ministries of Ukraine. Courses of professional development carried out on the basis of the Centre of Continuing Studies at OSENU are primarily focused on bringing improvement to the professional activities of specialists, who will work as managers and leading officers in the field of: hydrometeorology; management; environmental control and natural resource use; protection and reproduction of hydrobiological resources; modern information and Internet-technologies; and public administration.

Presently there offered three programmes of pre-university training at the Preparatory Department of the University:
the basis programme of secondary school, prior to the external independent testing.
Pre-University Training for the Citizens of Ukraine
for those having the background of basic secondary education, a 9-year education programme of secondary school. The mentioned education programme is provided for training of prospective students for the matriculation examinations at the particular subsidiary subdivisions of OSENU, namely,
Kharkiv and Kherson Technical Collegesof Hydrometeorology and Odessa College of Computer Technologies.
Pre-University Training for Foreign Citizens
is carried out under the programme of complete course of education in the following fields of study:
Economics;
Engineering and Technology; Engineering and Economics;
Health Care and Biology;
as well as language training cycle to master Ukrainian (Russian) language at the required level.
The main purpose of training foreign citizens is to study language as a means of communication, a tool of becoming a specialist and bring unification of knowledge of the trainees in the comprehensive disciplines in accordance with the level of training of pupils at comprehensive schools in Ukraine.
Foreign citizens, who successfully completed the curriculum of the full training course, will obtain a Standard Certificate approved by the Ministry of Education and Sciences of Ukraine, enabling the holder to be enrolled at higher education establishments in Ukraine.
