Is it possible to choose a masters course longer than sixteen months to help with survival and loan clearance in UK/Ireland?
Yes, you can choose a master's course longer than sixteen months, and this can help with living expenses and loan repayment.
- Canada: Many master's programs last 16 - 24 months. Longer programs give you more time to gain work experience and are eligible for a three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) if the program is at least eight months long (as of February 15, 2024; subject to change).
- UK: Most full-time master's degrees are 12 months, but part-time options can extend to two years. After graduation, the Graduate Route lets you stay and work.
- Ireland: Most master's are one year, but some research-based programs last up to 24 months. The Stamp 1G visa allows up to 24 months to seek work after graduation.
Longer programs can provide more time for internships, part-time jobs, and financial planning, supporting both living costs and loan clearance.
