Online study was perfect for me. I set my own study times and listened to lectures at my own pace. Completing my degree has given me the confidence to make suggestions, implement changes and make important decisions along with the rest of my senior management team.

Bachelor of Accounting

The flexibility of a 100% online degree enables our family to travel while managing a small Australian distribution business, which I do from a co-working space in Ubud, Bali. My first year of study has filled in a lot of gaps in my business knowledge, which has given me a lot more confidence in running my business. While I can produce and understand financial reports more efficiently, the major benefit has been improving my knowledge and understanding across all areas of business.
