  • “I would recommend studying with University of Essex Online to anyone”



    Kerry Payton started studying online in 2009 at the age of 18 and completed a Foundation degree in Business and Management at the beginning of 2012. She has now progressed on to a University of Essex Online programme to study for a Bachelors degree in Business and Management.

    “When I left sixth form, most of my friends were planning to leave home and study for a degree full time but I wanted to work and didn’t want to be burdened with the debt of a traditional university education. I got a job as a business administrator and really enjoyed the work that I was doing.”

    “I wanted to keep up with my peers and be able to develop my career so I decided to search online for an alternative route to study for a degree. I wanted to complete my degree in a similar time frame to a traditional degree course so I have been studying for two modules at a time which is hard work but well worth the effort.”

    “Since completing my Foundation degree I have moved from being an administrator to a PA for the MD of Perry Ellis Europe Limited. My new manager is impressed with the initiative that I have shown by studying for a degree in my own time and the work experience I have gained has helped me to progress.”

    “I’m so pleased that I made the decision to study online. University of Essex Online are incredibly helpful and supportive. I’m aiming to complete my Bachelors degree in Business and Management next year and am looking forward to attending my graduation ceremony at the University of Essex.”

    “Not many people my age know that there are other alternatives if studying for a degree full time at university is not an option. I would recommend studying with University of Essex Online to anyone who was thinking about doing a degree online.”
