"I live in West Malling, UK and have recently finished my qualification - BA (hons) Business Management from the University of Sunderland.

I chose the course as it had the most suitable course content and style of learning. I also work full time.

I had a few issues along the way, as the work study balance was sometimes difficult due to the changing nature of the buisness I work in and also the economic situation. However, higher education has changed me in that I have a wider comprehension of the factors that impact buisness. Also my confidance has grown and i am more self assured.

The main benefit of distance learning is that it can be organised to fit in with your life style and work commitments. I'm even considering doing an MBA next!"
