Sound lads. It’ll be grand. I found things much easier this time around, actually going to lectures and doing the coursework seems to make it easier to understand.

Just finished up an 18 month postgrad a week ago. Huge time committment, especially if you have kids but these things need to be done if you want to move up the food chain. You just need to sacrifice some time elsewhere.

8 modules and a thesis here
trying 2 before/2 after xmas for 2 years and then the thesis

2 modules is hard going here - yer man told us we need 10 hours. module per week - thats bascially 9-1am every night
not feasible - it bloody hard going also- matematically im not as sharp now

Had 6 modules spread over 3 semesters. 6-8 assignments across modules.

About 10 to 12 thousand words per semester. Tutorial every Wednesday from 6-9. Lots of academic readings and ted talks to watch each week.

You would easily be talking 7-10 hrs per week.

That’s hard graft mickee, I ran a part time office based business during those hours and the biggest issue is the quality of sleep you get after working late into the night.

Edit: if it’s any use to you the 5am to 8am slot was more productive than the 9pm to midnight one.

Oh my days! I think lads in their forties should be winding down career wise not studying

Shur look it, if you did fuck all when you should have been doing it, don’t begrudge them the opportunity right their wrongs
