Starting a distance learning course while on parental leave? Our student is convinced of this

Field report from a student at Allensbach University in the MBA General Management:

I am happy to share my experiences with other prospective students about my distance learning program at Allensbach University, with a special focus on studying while on parental leave. In order to give you a good assessment, I would like to briefly introduce myself: from 2013-2017, I completed my Bachelor's degree at a university in a humanities subject, as well as a minor in economics. I then went straight into working life, so I had around 4 years of professional experience at the time of my family-related leave.

My son was born in October 2022 and I planned to return to work after six months, but for various reasons the original plan was not feasible, so I will unexpectedly be looking after my son full-time until January 2024. However, I decided to complete my Bachelor of Arts with an MBA so as not to leave this time unused professionally and started looking for a program that suited my life circumstances. As children are unpredictable in their development - especially in the first two years - I was looking for a degree program that didn't follow a rigid pattern. Allensbach University offers exactly that (read full report).
