Real-life insights: Balancing work, family and study

Three perspectives from our part-time Bachelor’s degree programme in Business Administration (B.A.)

How do you actually manage to study part-time alongside work, family and everyday life? In this podcast, three students from our Bachelor’s degree programme in Business Administration (B.A.) speak openly about their personal experiences of balancing work, family and study. The podcast was produced as part of the ‘Leadership and Communication’ module.

The podcast offers authentic insights into everyday student life – featuring real challenges, individual routines and how to manage the demands of work, family and study.
