That rule is applicable for work done before undergrad
Mostly any work done before that will only count as part time / internship with very few exceptions

Also your masters was distance learning , hence it should not affect your overall work experience

Kindly reach out to admission committee just to be fully sure- oxfordmba@sbs.ox.ac.uk

Hi everyone! 👋

Excited to be here with all of you fellow Oxford MBA aspirants!
This journey is definitely challenging, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. We’re all in this together, and it’ll be so much easier (and better) if we support and learn from one another along the way. 🤝

Let’s begin with introductions so we feel comfortable reaching out at any stage — be it for GMAT tips, essays, or just motivation on hard days.

I’ll go first 😊
I’m Priya, from India. I’m currently preparing to retake my GMAT for a better score.
Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/malanipriya1996

I will be sharing useful resources in upcoming days, if you come across any you can share it too ofcourse :)

Hello

I have accumulated four years of professional work experience since completing my undergraduate degree, while also being actively engaged in the social sector for the past eight years. In addition, I recently completed an MA in Sociology through distance learning, which I pursued alongside my full-time job.

To clarify, because my MA was undertaken in distance mode concurrently with my employment, my total recognized professional work experience remains four years. The pursuit of a distance education degree does not affect the calculation of my full-time work experience—this is important as I prepare my MBA application.

Could any one please advise how business schools typically view an MA degree earned via distance education, especially when it is completed alongside full-time work?

Hi, thanks for sharing your query.

Usually, business schools want an applicant to only pursue one thing at a time. So, you’re either working full-time or you are studying, whether it’s distance, whether it’s online, etc., but full-time. If you’re doing a part-time degree, then yes, schools would want to know whether it is in, are you attending classes over the weekend—but if this is a distance degree, then what I recommend is to put your full-time experience instead of the distance degree, because otherwise the school will only consider the distance degree and not work experience.

And work experience is much more valuable to an MBA than completing a distance second degree, right? So, if you did your undergraduate full-time degree, that would be perfectly fine. And since, you know, your MA in sociology might or might not be valuable at all to the MBA program, it’s okay to leave it out. But if you’re looking for a more customized and detailed evaluation, do write to us for a free profile evaluation.
