Aisha Rahman’s Story

🇦🇪 United Arab Emirates

Course completed: MSc Human Resource Management

→ Promoted to HR Director within 8 months of graduating

About Aisha

I was an HR manager in Dubai, leading a team of four. I wanted the Director title and the strategic seat at the table, but every senior role asked for a master's degree. Leaving my job to study was not an option.

Why Aisha Chose LEAP Education

LEAP's MSc Human Resource Management was fully online with a clear 12-month structure. I could keep working, pay in instalments, and study in the evenings. That combination was hard to find elsewhere.

The Learning Experience

The MSc covered employment law, talent strategy, and organisational development — all directly useful in my current role. Assignments often asked me to analyse my own company, which meant I was learning and delivering value at work simultaneously. Support from my tutor was responsive and practical.

The Outcome

Eight months after graduating, I was promoted to HR Director. My CEO cited the MSc specifically in my offer letter. My salary increased significantly and I now report directly to the board on people strategy.

Aisha’s Advice

“You do not need to pause your career to advance it. LEAP let me study and work in parallel — that is the only way this would have worked for me.”

“Studying online while working full-time felt impossible until I found LEAP. The flexibility changed everything.”
