    I'm begining a part-time masters in Assistive Technology in DIT in September. I'm a little bit anxious about juggling my full time job with the part-time masters. My job really demands alot of hours from me. But hopefully it'll be ok. :)

    I'm in the same boat Crisps. I'm starting a two year part time grad dip in translation and editing, and I have a hectic full time job. Here's to hoping!

    Exact same here guys. Working full-time job also very busy, while doing Masters in Management (UCD Smurfit Business School) also.... it means a lot of juggling, studying late into night... you just do what you have to do but sacrifices must be made. The time flies thought, we'll get there

    I've just finished two years of studying to be an Accounting Technician - thought I would never get there, but can't wait for graduation! Now I find myself going on to do Certified Public Accountant - once you start you just can't stop! :)

    About to start a part-time BSc in Information Technology in DIT. Can't believe how much I'm looking forward to it despite how ridiculously busy my life's about to become. Oh well, I seem to get nothing done unless I'm under pressure :)

    Starting a Masters in Environmental Toxicology & Pollution Monitoring from University of Ulster next week. By distance elearning, it should be interesting to find out how that works.

    I'm just about to start the PT, BA in Psychology in DBS. I'm so scared at facing into 4 years + of studying but I'm guessing it'll be worth it in the end.
    Are any of the posters who mentioned studying the same course still posting here??? How do you find it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 955 ✭✭✭Scruffles


    doing this course at home PT:
    http://www.asdan.org.uk/Award_Programmes/Towards_Independence
    we have an inhouse tutor [am living in a residential home for people with severe or profound autism].
    had had a say in the modules as its all tailored to a persons likes,strengths and difficulties.

    is BA degree level or masters?
    the sister did her pyschology degree full time but never even got any junior level job with it,she ended up changing her plans and becoming a councilor/therapist instead in drug addiction,and she said it was her previous job in working with supporting people with severe mental illness and addictions that got her that job not the degree.
    honestly thought what was the point in getting into debt for something she isnt even able to make use of?

    she coudnt afford to do the masters,so if it that which are doing,is it definitely something that want to be paying out for-is there going to be the payback for it,and will there be jobs at the end of it?

    part time is probably a better decision,in terms of money as will be able to get money that way to whether through job or benefits.

    Hi I'm considering doing an admin course with CMIT. How do you find studying with them? Are their courses recognised by employers?

    Just started a PT MSC in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in ITT. Tough so far trying to juggle a new job and the course load.

    Just finished a PT MBA. Only advice I would give you is get organised. You'll be great at project management at the end of it

    Thanks Godtabh. Really want to get it done and the good thing is that I seem to be taking up what they are putting down with ease but the coursework/load is pretty intense so I will struggle with that.
