There are many places that offer students the chance to get back into work with distance learning degrees. One of these places is Kaplan University, an online university that offers its students the chance to sign up to and graduate with degrees that will set them up for professional jobs in the real world. Kaplan University has, for over fifty years, been one of the top places in the world to do distance learning courses. It is affiliated with the very highly respected University of Essex, so it has clear grounding behind it with professional lecturers, and resources to rival any of the top campus based universities in the country. When students graduate from Kaplan they collect their degrees alongside students from the University of Essex.
Having a distance learning degree from Kaplan University will mean that a graduate is equipped to go into the job market armed with professional skills that they might not have been able to pick up had they followed a degree scheme at a more traditional or longer established university. Degrees that Kaplan offers are focused on three main areas: business management, the law and legal system, and the financial services. To add to its reputation as a top provider of professional learning, Kaplan University has been nationally recognised for the quality of learning that its accountancy courses offer to students.
Within these broad subject headings are degrees in management and leadership, marketing, policing, probation, youth justice and a large number of other things. Degrees that are this specific are designed for people who know exactly which area they want to be working in, because these qualifications will clearly lead them right into a job in this sector. For students who do not have the minimum requirements of C grade GCSEs in English and maths and one A-Level, Kaplan offers the chance for them to do a foundation degree, with a one year BA ‘top up’ at the end.’
