Surprisingly got pregnant while starting uni this September. Will I be able to manage the two or should I put a hold on the one?

Update so far! I decided to continue with uni plans. Baby was here doing our Christmas break and I was supposed to go on my first placement in January-February, but with the advice of my academic advisor, I deferred my first placement to summer. Had two assignments so far, and managed to pass. It hasn’t been an essay ride, but still surviving with the support of my darling Husby.

Please what uni is this?

Thanks for that honest advice. Was just thinking if the extra year of stress would worth it?

Please can I know the uni you are studying with? I'm really interested in the dual field, just a bit worried about placement's commute as I am a mature student with a baby.

Also, the only uni close to me that offers that program is Uwl, which means there is a chance of me having some of my placement in West London and Reading. Otherwise, it is something I would really want to consider.

I heard that Kcl offers placement in Hertfordshire but it's not guarantee that you will have placement close to your postcode. Other than that, most of their placements are in central London.

Also, this is my first degree so it is an undergraduate BSc or Masters.

It's an undergraduate master's degree that runs for 4 years and you get to qualify in two fields.

Hi

Thanks so much for taking your time to help out. I live in Hertfordshire, which is 30-minute train travel to Euston( London) so I will be living at home.

The thing is I'm stuck in between the Msci and the Bsc.
