Personal advice
If you are considering doing a part-time Master's program, it is smart to seek advice from the education coordinator at the school you want to take the part-time program at. The education coordinator can tell you what to expect, will help you look at your options, and explain what your study path may look like. You will plan your personalized part-time program in consultation with the study advisor. This interview is a good starting point to determine whether a part-time program suits you.
The difference between full-time and part-time
The curriculum of the part-time program is exactly the same as the full-time program, however, you will study at an adjusted pace. This means it will take longer to complete the program. How long it takes will depend on your prior education and the Master's you choose. You will attend lectures during the day or in the evening.
Costs and tuition fees
There is no special rate for part-time studies. The costs are the same as those of a full-time Master's program. Costs will be higher when you already have a Master's degree and are doing a second Master’s program, both for a full-time and part-time study.
