I’m about to start my 4th yr of a 6 yr part time degree
I’m due a baby at Xmas
I’m not so much worried about this year as I won’t be at work but once I go back I can’t imagine how I am going to manage the final 2 years . I can’t skip a year either as I did the 1st yr so long ago that if I skip any modules I will lose that credit and have to do and pay for an extra year
Has anyone managed anything similar successfully?

With my first I was completing a distance learning MSc thesis after baby was born. Working full time, night feeds and thesis when all asleep 😴 Literally don’t know how I managed it but I did. Can you sort a regular evening babysit for when you are back at work to get things done. Also helps if you can have a set study area where you can leave your books etc so if you get an hour you can do a bit.
Maybe speak with work about an unpaid study day a month or enquire whether you can have any paid study leave? Hats off to you Smile

I'm doing a part time degree at the moment. Work full time and have 2 small children. I would say to try and get your partner or a babysitter and set some time to yourself to do your work.

I'm not very organised at all but I have managed to pass well so far. If you are more organised than me then you will be fine 😀
