Decisions: Going from Unfunded to Funded

[andijo]

Hello,

My company is paying for my masters. I will be working part time. However, I want a research masters and I am not sure if I will be able to manage work and grad school at the same time. I was wondering if moving from part time to full time with funds is a possibility?

Anyone have done that?

Thanks

I have done this. I initially applied part-time, and upon acceptance, I really dug into what would be expected of me. I decided to go full-time because of the funding package, and my decision that I could handle working part-time and school full-time. I've just finished my first year of a 2 year thesis program (first year was courses) and while it was challenging, I don't regret it. I am excited that I only have one year to go! It was manageable if you are good with time management and your work situation is fairly flexible.
