Like it says.

I'm looking at some jobs out there, and have heard employers take a dim view of distance degrees.

My BA was onsite, but my MA in Applied Linguistics was done online. The course is fully accredited, with worldwide recognition blah blah...

Will that mean anything to prospective employers?

It must be attested by the Ministry of Higher Education in the UAE. Some distance qualifications are acceptable to them, whilst others are not. It all depends on the qualification and you would need to check with them or your prospective employers. Hope this helps.

Very helpful, and a quick response too. Thanks.

I'll just submit my application and see how it goes.
