“The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.”
One of the most frequent questions prospective students ask is: ‘Will I be able to handle both my job and online studies at the same time?’ The answer to your dilemma is a clear ‘yes’.
Although studying and keeping your job requires a bigger commitment compared to being only a regular full-time student, you shouldn’t worry! Thousands of students have proved this is not only possible but, in fact, quite easy to manage.
- Pick a university with flexible online degrees
The university and online programme you choose can influence a lot how successful you are in both working and getting a degree at the same time.
- Learn to manage your time with a list of prios
One important thing you should remember when planning your time is to keep the deadlines for submission of all kinds of assignments.
- Stay on top with a smart study plan
If you want to thrive at both studies and work, you need to become an excellent planner. Ok, this doesn’t mean going OCD with your plans, but having an overview of your monthly, weekly and daily studying activities will help you feel in control of the situation.
- Don’t forget to take regular breaks
The most common question that all online students will ask themselves is this: ‘Is it even possible to keep oneself constantly fresh and fully concentrated on both work and studying?’
- Let your employers know you are studying an online degree
Employers can be more understanding than you might think. Announcing your boss that you will start a distance learning programme is a win-win situation in many cases.
Do you need help? Do you also want to pursue online learning?
