Evening Degrees:The right balance for you?
A great option for anyone looking to upskill and improve their career prospects without having to change too much in their daily lives

Benefits of Part Time Study

Time management is usually a big factor with those who decide to study part-time. Evening courses allow you to manage your time effectively.

It could also give you that confidence boost needed to either seek a promotion or even alter your career path, now that you have that extra qualification. Your course may require you to participate in group course work, presentations etc all of which will help build your confidence.

Combining work and study

For those of us out in the working world it’s just not often practical to get time to upskill and, as a result, full-time education isn’t an option. Part-time courses represent a more practical alternative, they are also more cost effective too, but it helps if your company might be willing to contribute towards the expense of the course.

Gaining work experience is absolutely vital in improving your employability status. An evening course provides a student with the time needed to gain valuable work experience that perhaps a full time student may not have.

Depending on the type of course you choose, some of the assignments are transferable to your work-life. For example in part-time business courses you will often be asked to draft up specific reports or procedures to implement directly into a business that you choose. The documents you draft tend to be aimed for use in real life applications and as a result many businesses tend to adopt practices their employees may have learned while completing their part-time course.

It is a known fact that qualifications certainly give potential employees the edge when it comes to candidate selection for job interviews or indeed for promotions. If you want to increase your chance of securing a job, especially within a particular industry, the more specialised your qualifications are, the more knowledge you are deemed to have regarding that particular field.

Additional qualifications demonstrate aptitude and application, which can stand to your benefit when discussing remuneration.

Full time education isn’t your only option. A part time course will allow you to gain an internationally recognised qualification at times that are convenient to you while still maintaining a steady income.
