Do I study full-time or part-time?

The methods of studying for doctorates have been changing quite rapidly as institutions are adapting to market conditions to fill their places. More and more students are approaching doctoral study in what we might regard as non-traditional modes.

More and more students are approaching doctoral study in what we might regard as non-traditional modes. These include part-time, distance or by e learning (or by a combination of these). Whilst we can differentiate in this way, what we are really discussing is a mode other than full-time mode

could you help me for funding to do my foundation degree.please

Good methods of studying for doctorates.Nice one guys. Great article keep it up.

"most full-time students spend their final period before submission in some form of part-time, at a distance, study." - I think so....

I'm a full time student; however, I work online so its easy to balance things.

I study full time and work part time.

part time study required

part time but online

I think you better study full time, you never know what may happen in the upcoming years, so better to keep on the safe side & finish it as fast as you can.
It's easy, all you need to do is to be dedicated these years to finish in an easy way.

yeah that is true.all the countries are not offering you to chose the part time method.since for that you have to have very high facilities as well high security levels.anyway the final decision should be taken by you whether you are moving for the full-time or part-time.

Hi there I did my postgraduate diploma full time although i did not have very many classes - only was in 2 days a week. If i had have known this i would have planned my university/work situation better. so my advice is to make sure you get as much information as possible before you begin.

Normally in our case, the undergraduates have to face lots of problems.I'm representing an Developping country. I think the story would be different in the Developed countries, but not in here.Due to these reasons so many are stooping there studies after the basic degree.So having scholarships and all would be a great thing.

Full-time is more feasible if you are living with parents who can support you... otherwise, having to deal with both work to pay for rent and other bills as well as going to school full-time will leave you burned out...

"For you as the purchaser of this service you need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each approach"

yeah that's what i still believe.its YOU who gonna decide this.since this is your turn.so you are the person who is gonna run this schedule.so you have to decide by your own.

this is totally up to you.here there are some reasonable points were mentioned.you cab go through them and decide by your own to what you gonna do.since you are the person who is going to do the rest.

yeah its really nice to see this much of ideas.actually we
have to think more about this.since the decision would depend for your final result for sure.

It all boils down to money. I'll do it part time if I do not have enough financial support.

actually its really difficult to give an exact answer for you.since the final decision has to be taken by you.not by any other.since its you who is gonna follow the curse and the exams.think twice and take a good decision.

regarding this question, you have to think twice.since this would effect for your final results at all.so you have to take your own decision but should be a brave decision.

"Again, which method you adopt will, in part, depend on your own circumstances and what institutions have available?".yeah.totally agree.you have to think about so many reasons.but finally, its your decision should be the final.as you are the person who gonna do this.

All other students on the course had their fees paid by their respective employers so I was the only self-funder. Now that I am considering PhD research, the options are about the same - try to find a university which would take me on as a full-time student (only I can't afford to give up my job), persuade my company to pay the fees or pay them myself. Guess which one is most likely!!!!

Again, which method you adopt will, in part, depend on your own circumstances and what institutions have available?
yeah this is totally agree.not only this, that decision will effect on your results too.so you have to take a brave decision.

"Howard Green and Stuart Powell (see contributors) November 2006".This article is made with the helping hand of those, sites.And really thankful for the group to sharing this with us for our knowledge.

yeah.this is one of the turning point for you.you have to think again and again should take the brave decision since this will be a turning point for your whole life.

"Again, which method you adopt will, in part, depend on your own circumstances and what institutions have available?".100% agree.added to that, this will directly effect to your final exam results too.SO you have to take a brave decision.

i cannot imagine taking on something as intense as a phd on a part-time basis. no way. not unless i had absolutely THE cushiest job in the world for a day job, or something that was so closely tied to my research that they were practically indistinguishable. talk about spreading yourself thin!

of course.as the writer has mentioned here, we have to take the most suitable decision at this time.since otherwise you may not be able to achieve what you have worked for.just for an example, it would be low results than you have expected.

Its one of the questions that is asked too frequently with the students, among themselves and also among friends. And its one of the questions that is difficult to answer too. I would say that it would purely depend on the person and his situation. But if you take it from an academic point of view a full time course would be the best and bright option for students who need to pursue a great career. Part time studies do have the limitations and they are of very much concern when they are taken into consideration. So you should decide which would be the best option for you.

I think going fulltime is the best option. You can definitely finish quicker and start you career quicker.

"Again, which method you adopt will, in part, depend on your own circumstances and what institutions have available?"
Yeah for sure.This decision would be directly influenced for your final grade results.So you have to think about it again and again as the writer has pointed out there.

this would be your private question.and by this article, the writer has pointed out some very special points that you have to pay your attention when you are taking your final decision.after going through this, you have to take your own decision.

Actually as a student, you are having the complete freedom to take your own decision.But you have to think twice since it would be directly depend up on your results for sure.

yeah.this would be your final decision.since you are the person who gonna move with this.but as a undergraduate, i believes that it would be best if you selected the full-time.

this has to be think twice.what suites you well.whether its full time or part time, since it would make a big difference to your final result.

I think if its possible, the best and the ideal way would be the moving for the FULL TIME.since when you are doing part time, with some other job or course like that, you would concentrate 100% on this.that would create some problems for you.

Full-time is more feasible if you are living with parents who can support you... otherwise, having to deal with both work to pay for rent and other bills as well as going to school full-time will leave you burned out...

Full time education is a waste of time in my opinion. The costs compared to the benefits cannot be justified...

I treated my full-time study like a proper job, always getting to .... and do casual teaching part time...

I guess, I prefer choose part-time study, since I have to pay my daily life by myself. May take long time to complete is depending on the person itself. If they can schedule their times wisely, I guess, it won't take long time to finished the study.

Most students tend to do their studies part time instead of doing full time. But I think doing it full time will bring more results since they can focus totally on their studies.

The credit requirements for full-time and part-time study at undergraduate level are stipulated in the General Regulations for first Degrees

The choose of between to study part time or full time depends on your time management skills and abilities. If you are good at doing multiple tasks simultaneously then you can go for a part time if not go for a full time. Other wise you will not be able to get the maximum out of your studies.

The credit requirements for full-time and part-time study at undergraduate level are stipulated in the General Regulations for first Degrees and, where relevant, in the Supplementary Regulations for particular degrees.

Even I have a dilema about the course selection, please can any experienced person post his views ?

It is also possible to combine full time and these other modes during the course of study. After all, most full-time students spend their final period before submission in some form of part-time, at a distance, study.
