Hello everyone,
I’m preparing to apply for an MSc in OT starting January 2028. This is a career change for me and I’m stepping away from a long career and good salary to go back to study, so I know planning is key.
In your experience, what’s the maximum hours per week you’d allow to do a part time job to support your financial situation during your studies? I’m in Scotland so won’t get the £5000 payment available in the rest of the UK.
I know that part time work will need to stop during placements, but I’m talking outwith the placement periods. Is 10, 15, 20 hours do-able over the course of the non placement weeks?
Thanks!
