how to complete unfinished course

Submitted by heman tang

 HI Everyone,

Im 32 , been working for the past 10yrs. I partially completed my undergraduate course at UNSW for Bachelor of Commerce, but had to drop out due to family issues. I would like to know what are the ways to complete this degree. Without completion of this  , would I still be able to look into starting a post grad course such as MBA . i've read in this forum someone in my similar situation, who is looking to do a course in MBA . Is that an option for me as well? Alternatively, is it possible to do distant study to complete my original undergrad degree?

Many thanks for any guidance.

Hi Heman,
I strongly suggest you to contact your university so you can check your status. I don't know did you stopped your studies by "freezing your status" on your faculty or not, but I'm sure that you can proceed your studies and graduate. And after that you can start new studies such as MBA or something else where ever you want..

Hi, Heman!  Talk with your uni UNSW to find out your options.
If you left very close to completing the degree, perhaps active work performed since then can fill in for remaining coursework for the bachelor's.  Many MBA programs are primarily distance-study; some of those might have no problem with partial progress towards the undergraduate degree if your work experience shows readiness (or mastery) of relevant skills.
A nearby uni might also credit you some courses towards MBA to transfer around, also based on professional work done.  You need to talk with the different programs to find out what's possible.
Depending on what you're looking to do, a different advanced degree might be more appropriate, or even no degree.  Finding someone who can advise you on that is another good reason to go chatting up folks at the unis.
