Studying around full-time work

Hi,

I'm just about to start university for the second year as a part time student around full time work.

I am seeing a lot of posts about parents getting their DC ready for university. Are there any other people here who are preparing to go back to University around full time work? Smile

I’m hopefully starting a part-time masters around pretty much full-time work. Pretty much because I’m currently working freelance, so full-time hours from home week by week, but if I needed to take a few days/a week off here and there to cram some extra study in I could.
Despite this feeling a bit nervous at the prospect! I did my first degree as a mature student too but only needed to work a bit part-time during that.

I'm going to uni next month as a PT student to do an MSc. I currently work FT but am cutting my contract to 80% for the duration of the course. My hours are also being annualised as I will be studying 40 credits in one semester and 20 in the other, so I can do more office hours during the semester where I have fewer study hours, and vice versa. month

It will still be tough.

I also have 3 teenage DC.
