Part-time study is an option for people who want to study while continuing in employment or other commitments such as raising a family or caring for family members. You can enrol on a part-time course with a relevant employment component or in addition to employment.
By studying part-time you have longer to complete your course compared with studying full-time. Part-time study is a good option if you want to continue working while you study.
Studying part-time while working allows you to combine a job with self-study. A part-time course can also be completed through distance learning.
Degree programmesA part-time course with an employment component means that in addition to studying part-time you also work part-time, either for a certain number of days a week or in blocks.
