Introduction
If you’re working full-time in Mauritius and still want to pursue higher education, you’re not alone. Many Mauritians are choosing to earn degrees online while continuing their professional journey. With the rise of online distance learning, gaining a qualification no longer means putting your life on hold. This blog explores how online education is making it possible for working professionals to earn degrees without disrupting their careers.
Online learning is revolutionary
Traditional, on-campus programmes often require students to attend classes during working hours, which can be impossible for those in full-time jobs. Online learning eliminates this barrier. You can study at times that suit your schedule. Whether it’s early in the morning, during lunch breaks, or late at night, online courses give you the flexibility to choose your study hours.
In Mauritius, this is particularly relevant. Traffic, family commitments, and long workdays make it hard to attend physical classes. Online programmes offered by institutions like Honoris Educational Network cater to these realities. They’re designed for people who want to upskill without compromising on their work or personal life.
This is how it works
When you enrol in an online degree at Honoris, you’re given access to a learning platform that hosts all your course materials, lecture schedules, assignments, and assessments. You are also given hard copies of module guides. All the workshops are live and recorded for your convenience. You can watch these, read materials, submit assignments, and take part in discussions with your peers — all online.
All the programmes from MANCOSA and REGENT Business School are delivered in a supported distance learning format. That means while you’re learning online, you’re not alone. Academic support is available via email, phone call, and scheduled live sessions.
Benefits for working professionals
- The programme is flexible, which means you decide when and where you study.
- You get to save time and money on travel, and you do not need to buy books – module guides are free.
- You do not need to take a break in your career. You keep working while you study.
- Since you are still working, you can apply what you learn directly to your job.
- This is a great opportunity for personal development. You will learn time management, self-discipline, and critical thinking.
Success tips to earn your degrees online
- Set a routine. Allocate time each day or week to focus on your studies.
- Learn to communicate. Keep in touch with your lecturers and peers.
- Stay organised. Use planners or apps to track deadlines. You can put all workshops or deadlines in your email calendar to get notifications
- Seek support. Involve the Honoris team, your family or employer, where possible.
Final words
You don’t need to choose between your career and your education. Online learning allows you to pursue your academic goals while maintaining your current job and lifestyle. Institutions like Honoris are making it easier for Mauritians to earn degrees on their own terms. So, if you’re too busy to study — think again. With the right programme, you can do both.
