We have answered some common questions you may have about studying in the Department of Space and Climate Physics.
听
- Can I study part time?
Our MSc programmes in Space Science and Space Technology are only available for full time study.
Our MSc programmes in Systems Engineering Management, Technology Management and Management of Complex Projects are available in both a part time mode and a modular flexible mode.听
- What is the difference between part time and modular flexible?
Please note, this option is only available for our MSc programmes in Systems Engineering Management, Technology Management and Management of Complex Projects.
In a nutshell, part time study has to be completed within two years. It has a more structured programme for the student to follow.听
Modular flexible has to be completed within five years, and gives the student more opportunity to work out a pattern of study that suits their needs and life style. It tends to be more suitable for those in full time employment whilst undertaking the MSc.
UK part time students may be eligible to apply for student loans.
We have some answers to questions about studying part time/modular flexibly on the UCLse website.听
- Can I get a student loan?
Full time and part time UK based students may be eligible to apply for student loans, but modular flexible students are not.
You can find more information on the UCL postgraduate funding sources pages.听
