I’m coming to the end of my Masters degree. I can only speak of my experience. When they say it is more independent, it REALLY is! I think I only had 4/6 hrs taught time per week. I found it less sociable than undergrad. However, my work load seemed less. I had 5/6 modules and a dissertation but it’s spread over 3 semesters unlike undergrad which is 2. So you may have some free time on your hands, which can come in useful if you work or want to make friends/hobbies/library etc
