Hi Harold

Yes, it is Kingson University - www.kingston.ac.uk. Others of the 'new' universities offering work-based degrees include Middlesex University http://www.middlesex.ac.uk/ and Glasgow Caledonian http://www.gcal.ac.uk/.

As is the case when innovating anywhere, it has taken some time. I helped get the work-based Master's validated in 2001 with programmes available across all faculties, not just the business school. I left the university 5 years ago but remain working in partnership.

I have enjoyed the most interesting period of my working life over the past three years, having been involved in the work-based Master's collaboration between Kingston Business School and the Academy of National Economy in Moscow (http://www.ises.ane.ru/en/about_us/programm/).

It is not easy and we make lots of mistakes but for me work-based action learning is the only way to go.
