You don’t need to give up your career – and your salary – to study a new, potentially life-changing programme: instead, you can combine work and study to ensure you get the qualification you want and retain the financial security you need.
So, when you find yourself needing to embark on a course of study to change direction, learn new skills, or gain a promotion, part-time study is the ideal option.
Clearly, combining studies with a career can be hard work, but employers will appreciate the commitment, willpower, motivation, and effort that an employee puts into studying while working. And gaining more experience in the workplace while increasing your qualifications at the same time could get you noticed, which can lead to better job opportunities and promotions.
