Learning designed for working professionals, needs flexible support
About
AIM Business School is a higher education provider that operates on one simple principle: the education they provide must support each individual's needs, as a student.
They offer nationally-accredited courses in business, management and leadership, culminating in their online Master of Business Administration (MBA).
Their programs are delivered 100% online, "Designed to Fit Your Life" and complement a busy schedule rather than detract from it. AIM Business School believes that a student's existing commitments, whether that is full-time work, family responsibilities, or personal interests, should not be sacrificed to attain a career-changing qualification.
Why Studiosity?
AIM Business School's course offerings are built for busy professionals. When students are working and learning, they may not always be able to access learning support during business hours - and with 100% online delivery, AIM Business School needed to incorporate support that suits the diversity of their students' lives. With Studiosity, they can deliver fast feedback on written work around the clock, and instant chat for study questions in a student's own time.

Working in partnership to ensure students are aware of the offering and are engaging with the service is a key to the success of the Studiosity program at ABS. Professor Sabina Cerimagic, Executive Dean and Executive Director, expands; "Our partnership with Studiosity means we can promise all our students that they'll be supported and connected to our institute, on their own terms when they need it - and we can deliver on that.
We see a high level of student satisfaction with the feedback they're getting from Studiosity. As an institution that prides itself on flexible delivery and learning that is designed to suit busy professionals, we are delighted to be able to offer students that same flexibility in support, too."
Working full time and studying for an MBA online is no easy feat, and Chris attributes the timeliness afforded by Studiosity's support as a key reason for his success."As an institution that prides itself on flexible delivery and learning that is designed to suit busy professionals, we are delighted to be able to offer students that same flexibility in support, too."
