Why employers value online business degrees

Our online business degrees appeal to forward-thinking employers in proactive companies and organisations like yours. Why? Because they offer talented members of your staff an exciting opportunity to study for a highly relevant online business management degree, delivered by a leading UK distance learning provider.

But is it possible for your staff to continue their regular full-time job and to complete an online business degree with us at the same time? Absolutely. Indeed, over 90 per cent of our current students are in either part or full-time employment. 

The flexible nature of all our distance learning degrees ensures that disruption to working time is minimal, with employees able to fit tutorials, study and assignments around their work commitments.

Moreover, as many of our degree course projects are practice-based, your staff will be adding value to your company while they are studying. It’s a win-win situation for any employer.

Online learning - the modern way to study for a business degree

Our innovative virtual learning environment and online business degrees enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide, and we pride ourselves on the many strong partnerships we have forged with companies and organisations from a diverse range of business sectors.

By equipping your staff with essential commercial knowledge and skills and nurturing their understanding of modern-day business practices, we can help your business to grow and compete in an increasingly complex marketplace.

How do we do this? Through a proven combination of teaching by recognised experts in the field of business education and facilitated experiential learning in the workplace.

Online business degrees: a three-way partnership

If you, as an employer, are to derive maximum benefit from your staff undertaking an Anglia Ruskin online business degree, you will be part of a successful three-way partnership between:

  • You - as an employer, your company or organisation can assist by providing distance learning students with information for workplace-based projects, not to mention all-important encouragement throughout the duration of the course.
  • Your employees - who will require the self-motivation, aptitude and discipline to complete all necessary components of the course successfully.
  • Us - we provide the services of a learning skills consultant and an academic mentor to help you and your employee decide on the most appropriate course to meet your business needs; we then supply the requisite course materials and ongoing support via our interactive virtual learning environment.

We have a proven track record of collaborating with employers such as Harrods, Ridgeons, Specsavers, Barclays Bank and UPS. Their enlightened approach to HR has led them to invest in the professional development of their key staff by contributing to course funding, either in part or in full.
