AIBU to think that this is doable?

I'm starting University in September and although I'm not sure what my timetable is going to be yet, I think it's likely to be Wednesday and Thursday 11 until 3. Possibly Tuesday 11 until 3 also.

I also have a three year old who qualifies for 30 hours at Nursery in September. However, he only qualifies for the Nursery because I get a certain benefit. However, this will end in the next few months so from January he will only recieve 15 hours.

So the plan from September until January is for 3 year old to do Mondays - Thursdays 9 until 4. However, from January he'll do 9 - 4 just on my Uni days so only Wednesday and Thursdays. And maybe Tuesdays.

I have also applied for an evening job which is Monday - Friday 7 until 9:30. So I'll be out from 6:30 until 10pm.

Is this too much do you think? I worry about being too tired, or not having enough time to do my Uni work or not being able to spend enough time with my DC. But also, could definitely do with some extra money from the evening job. And from January anyway, DC will be doing only 15 hours at Nursery instead of 30 so I'll have extra time with DC then? And I'll always have Fridays at home with DC anyway until he starts School. The start time from the job at 7 is when DC goes to bee anyway.

I think another reason I'm worrying is because I have MH problems and it does sound quite a lot to me? I don't want to over do it but really the extra money will make quality of life better but also not essential?

AIBU to think this sounds okay?

YANBU it sounds easy!
YABU it'll be too full on.

The job will provide an extra £480 a month.

Is it a course with some physical placements eg. Nursing or is it all booked based? Do you live with a partner/child's dad who is willing to look after child?

It sounds doable from the uni side as long as you can get someone to help at busy assignment times and be organised with your studying. There will be reading to do around the course too so you need time for that.

It's book based. And yes, partner would be willing to watch child while I work in the evening.
