The case study below is from a mature student who realised that to gain her dream job she needed to be able to study and work at the same time.

“Since starting my current job I wanted to further my career within the organisation and the only way to do this was to be able to study whilst still working.

Looking into many different types of study options, it became very clear that the only way forward for me was online study.  The online learning classroom app from Online Business School on my smartphone was wonderful, being able to complete tests and assingments any time of the day, night, on the train and even in my lunch break using my phone.

Having access to online support also helped me greatly and being able to chat with other individuals also on the same programme helped greatly.  Within 12 months of starting my online MBA pathway programme, I had completed and passed all modules and assessments.  This has now gained me a full MBA qualification and further promotion at work!

If the option of online study had not be available to me then I would not have been able to complete my qualification, Online study is an option I would recommend to anyone, especially with it being so flexible.”
