You can pursue a master's degree while working, especially through part-time or flexible study options tailored for professionals. Many universities offer programs with evening or weekend classes to fit around your job. However, if you plan to study in the UK on a student visa, international students are not allowed to work during part-time master's courses, including both term time and holidays. Balancing work and study will require strong time management, so consider your workload and discuss your plans with your employer to make sure you have their support. If you need more guidance for your specific situation, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
