Time Frame for Part Time MA in Education and Working Full Time

    I will be starting a part time MA at the end of September. I have 2 - 4 years to finish it. It consists of 4 modules (all essay based) and a 20,000 word thesis.

    Anybody have any experience of completing this while working full time? I will have holidays etc as I am a teacher, but is this slightly ambitious? I am worried that in the 2nd year I may struggle with the modules and thesis.

    Would I be better spreading it out over three years, and using the final year to concentrate on my thesis?

    Any advice is much appreciated!
