Choosing to study a Masters degree is a big decision and timely commitment. We understand that working a full-time job and studying alongside can seem like a tricky balance, which is why we wanted to set your expectations on what weekend study will look like for you.

Weekend teaching

As our part-time Masters programmes are specifically designed for working professionals, we ensure the 9-18 teaching weekend blocks are spread out across the 2 year course to ensure you don’t have to commit yourself to every weekend.

Self-study

A Masters is an advanced qualification which requires a lot of time and effort. As you won’t be attending classroom lectures every week, it’s important that you dedicate the time to self-study and practice to achieve those pass marks. Below you can see the required time for independent learning on each part-time programme:
