Are you considering studying a part-time Masters but want to be sure about the benefits? A part-time Masters will equip you with the same skills, credentials and course content as if you were studying full-time and on campus but can be tailored to your own personal circumstances. Read on to find out why a part-time Masters could suit you in 2019.
Fit your Masters in around your life
This is perhaps the most widely associated benefit when people think about part-time courses but the novelty of having flexibility around learning is displaying no signs of wearing off. If you are studying a Masters alongside full-time work, a further benefit is the possibility of being able to self-fund the course, which can be more attractive than taking out a loan.
Gain professional experience alongside study
Many students find that applying what they are learning on the Masters to their day job leverages their overall knowledge. This also sets these students apart from those studying the course full-time in the eyes of future employers, as they do not have the professional context to apply their knowledge. Employers will also view part-time study as evidence of good time management skills and commitment.
The benefits of a two-year course
Completing a Masters over two years instead of one gives you more of an opportunity to collate information for your dissertation. You will also have longer access to the wide range of materials available as part of study than those completing the course in a single year.
Tutors of part-time courses are aware of the pressures
It's important for part-time students to remember that tutors are familiar with the pressures that come with a part-time online Masters. They understand the distinction between simply being busy and unforeseen circumstances such as family issues or significant changes in the workplace.
