Distance learning offers a flexible way to earn a degree while gaining valuable work experience. Whether you are looking to complete an internship, work as a student employee, or transition into a new career, a distance learning programme can open many doors. But what are your career prospects after completing a distance learning degree, and how can you maximise your opportunities?
Gaining work experience during your studies
One of the biggest advantages of distance learning is the ability to combine your studies with practical experience. Many students choose to complete a distance learning internship alongside their studies. This allows them to apply their academic knowledge in a real-world setting, gain industry insights, and build a strong professional network.
Another popular option is to be a working student (Werkstudent) while studying. This provides financial support and valuable work experience, helping working students pursuing distance learning studies (Fernstudium und werkstudent) to stand out in the job market.
