Why choose a work-based degree?
Our work-based degree courses allow you to get an undergraduate level 6 Bachelor’s or postgraduate level 7 MBA degree alongside your current job, without going to college full-time. You choose what you learn based on your professional and personal ambition, and you can mix self-study modules and work-based projects to suit what you need to learn.
Our courses are a different way to learn. Firstly, you are not studying on campus in structured lessons. Our work-based courses are driven by self-study, where you’ll use your motivation, enthusiasm and time to complete your studies. Second, the structure of your studies is individual to you and can contain mandatory and optional distance learning modules and work-based projects that create learning opportunities.
