I am currently in full time employment, so being able to study at my own time and being able to be in control of my own studying was really important, and Walbrook provided that as part of their online degrees. Their model really works because you're able to juggle it around your current lifestyle more than the typical degree. Whether you're studying, whether you're part time, or whether you're parents, I would say just go for it.
