Studying BA (Hons) in Business & Management


I had already studied to HND level at a local college always with the hope to top-up my qualifications into a degree. I did go off to University when I was younger and this did not work out for me, so I came home and studied HNC and HND business management.

I am currently working two jobs so I can afford to take this degree while working an gaining experience in the education sector as long term I want to teach. I spent 6 months travelling in Australia and when I returned I decided I want to finish my qualification. With a lot of research it was shown that KOL was the best step for me.

I can say this is the best choice I have ever made. I have chosen to finish the degree within a year and by no stretch of the imagination is it easy but with the continued support I have from tutor and my learning advisor I am confident I will finish my degree with a good grade. I have found that with KOL as long as you manage your time you can fit this course in around your current lifestyle. I am happy with the course and the amount of support I have and feel that this is a great way to learn from home.

I would recommend KOL to all my friends and family and to anybody who is wanting to work gain a degree through distance learning. I have nothing but positive words to say about my experiences with KOL. So thank you to everyone who is involved with my course and learning.
