The Systems Engineering degree can also be completed on a part-time basis while working.
If you choose to study part-time while in employment, you can complete the degree as follows:
- Four years
- 33 weeks of classes per year
- 30 study hours per week, including self-study time
- Classes on Tuesday evenings, Thursday evenings, Friday daytimes and Saturday mornings
- 18 credit points can be counted toward the degree once your employment status has been checked
- It is possible to work for 60% of the time over four full workdays
- Credits can be given for projects assigned to you by your employer
- Credits are given for any previous knowledge from a university of applied sciences
The above figures are intended as a guideline and can vary individually. Students are not required to be in employment for a minimum amount of time. You can take advantage of the option to study on a full-time basis or part-time basis while working if you can otherwise schedule your study time. The degree programme will take longer to complete in accordance with the work schedule you undertake.
This was a decision I made with my future in mind
Undertaking the Systems Engineering degree on a part-time basis while working enables me to remain active in the private sector. Being able to practically apply the knowledge I have acquired on an ongoing basis is brilliant. Success can be achieved through study.
