A postgraduate distance learning qualification from the University is career changing. It can be the springboard to promotion of the student with the current employer, the platform from which a professional can launch a new career or can simply become more effective in his/her current role.
Studying by distance learning has the benefit of allowing development of the career of a professional without having to leave employment. It also means that you can apply new knowledge and insights to your working life while you are still studying.
