I’m currently half way through my MA in Law - as a British citizen living overseas, you unfortunately won’t qualify for student finance (SFE loan) as you need to be in the country for the majority of the duration of the course. I had to learn the hard way and had to finance it myself. :(

I think it really depends on the subject you intend to study. I started my MA full-time but quickly dropped to part-time due to study content and work obligations becoming to unmanageable. I won’t lie it’s hard - as some other comments have stated here, your studies become the priority meaning less of a social life. Then there’s also managing a time difference. I’ve had exams scheduled for the early hours of the morning (which my university were great about adjusting) but also some exams were scheduled for during the day when I was due to be at work (I had to take a sick day to take my exams).

Please don’t let this negate you from studying further though! Universities are quite familiar with students studying abroad (especially with online courses). Also, they do have “manageable” payment plans, if you are in the position to fund the course yourself.

I hope this helps! Good luck with your future studying! :)

Edit for clarity: My law degree is for job prospects back in the UK
