Why Part-Time Software Engineering Could Be Your Ticket to Success
Why Part-Time Software Engineering Could Be Your Ticket to Success
It's been two years since I embarked on my journey as a part-time Software Engineering student, and I've gathered some invaluable insights that I want to share with you. In this video, I delve into the various benefits and considerations that make part-time study a fantastic option for aspiring software engineers.
One of the major advantages of studying part-time is the flexibility it offers. Whether you're juggling a full-time job, family commitments, or other responsibilities, part-time study allows you to tailor your learning schedule to fit your life. This flexibility has been crucial for me, enabling me to balance my work and personal life effectively.
Another significant benefit is the opportunity to gain practical experience alongside your coursework. By studying part-time, you can apply theoretical knowledge directly to real-world situations, enhancing your learning and professional growth. This hands-on approach has been invaluable in cementing my understanding and skills.
Engaging in a part-time programme also opens doors to a wider network of professionals. From classmates who are also balancing work and study, to industry professionals and lecturers, the networking opportunities are plentiful and can be instrumental in your career development. I've made some great connections that have supported my journey.
However, successfully balancing part-time study with other commitments requires excellent time management skills. In this video, I share some tips and strategies that have helped me stay organised and productive throughout my studies. Managing my time well has been key to my success.
Financially, part-time study can be a more affordable option compared to full-time programmes. I discuss the financial benefits and considerations, including how to manage tuition fees and potential funding options. This aspect has made pursuing my studies more manageable and less stressful.
Hope will help you in making an informed decision about pursuing part-time Software Engineering studies!

Why The First £10k is Always Hard My first £10k in savings didn't come easy. I spent the first three years working towards that goal when my salary was only £25k. It wasn't easy, but it was doable by sacrificing my social life (not that I had many friends anyway), outings, and lots of good things I should have been doing in my 20s. By the time I realized it, I was 33. Deep inside, I do wish I h...

Achieving £500K Net Worth: My Financial Journey So Far
Cool vid man!
BTW the Oxford MSc does attract a fair amount of attention from FAANG once it goes up on your LinkedIn profile. Enjoying your videos. Thanks!
Wow! 9 modules in a year is quite a lot. Personally, I never took more than 3 a year, but to be fair I had a pretty high pressure job at the time, flying from PA to Florida every couple of weeks🙂 Also for my first couple of modules, the time to do the assignment was only 4 weeks, so the schedule was brutal. Fortunately, they changed to a 6 week assignment period by my third module.
Hello @mathcritic, ye I lived an hour away so make sense im doing it as quick as possible - the module cost also has risen to £2900 which is a lot!
@@neoleemh Yeah living close by is a huge benefit. Good luck with your course work!
Good thoughts man. Good luck to me, and you, and everyone! xD
Thanks! @SadMonkeyz935 , all the best to both of us!,
It's hard to understand with all the sound and music. Don't know if it's me, but hope it helps
Hello @MrJohnabrown , yes the edit is bit off and I will make sure to double check next time, many thanks for comment!
Did my thesis as a part-time student coz I couldn't put my full-time career on hold just to attend grad school. Solution? Lots of graveyard shifts and gallons of coffee. Same solution now that I'm doing my doctorate. LOL.
Hello @kkhalifah1019 thank you so much for sharing this! Hope your phd goes well!!

Hello friend.
LOL , see u in CLO -
Hello friend.
Hello!
Hello friend.
Hello 👋
Neo back with another video!🎉
Lol, see you in CLO
just found your channel, great stuff! interesting how we are in similar life situations (London based, c.10 years in employment, and others that I won't disclose here, etc.) although my view on property is flipped! Would be a great conversation (plus other elements on your channel) if you ever have a Q&A or one day a London event!
Hello @DSSaw26, certainly yes! I still genuinely reckon getting up the house ladder first in the UK is still the right choice. I may explore the idea of HMO once the interest rate lowered a little bit. Not well received by others for sure, but will give it a go anyway :p
@@neoleemh I feel with current interest rates, getting on the housing ladder isn't quite as financially beneficial as renting i.e. rent is relatively reasonable compared to a chunkier mortgage repayment. plus the deposit money could be spread across other investments (risky though as you point out haha) Are HMOs still allowable these days? I was of the understanding the government has cracked down on this, a great avenue for cash flow if possible!
@DSSaw26 yep a lot of people would agree on that, I went in during covid , my interest rate was 1.4% that time.... Would rather have that money on ISA for now too! Yes,HMO still a good tool to maintain wealth I would say, I yet to have the money to jump into it, but it is one of the area I would like go invest!
@@neoleemh I actually think your situation is a positive one, locking in a relatively low interest rate for (I assume and hope!) 5 years! In this case I don't see how you might prefer to have the house deposit sitting in an ISA, unless you mean a stocks and shares ISA (current interest rates are around 4%?) by HMO do you mean more like getting a buy to let mortgage and renting out that way?
As corny as it may sounds but my £100 investment in ISA back in 2020 now has upped 170%, imagine if I invested more into it -- :( Yes that's right, rental properties, hope I could get one soon!
Wow that's some unique advice. I would want to talk with you. Can I get your email?
Hello, you can join my Discord and ping me there thanks!
Thanks@@neoleemh
Good stuff, Neo :) Too many people are guided by comparison. When you are guided by your own scorecard, you play by your own rules. Looking forward to seeing you grow!

@neolee91 hey, thanks so much for the quick response. This link seems to work 😀
see you in Discord!
Thank you! Looking forward to more of your videos
thanks!
Thanks for sharing the information. But I don't know why as a part-time program, nearly all the courses are required to take 9-5 on weekdays. So did you use your paid holiday to take the courses? If it is true then I know why this program takes an average three years to finish...
Hello Jackie, apology for the late reply, this is correct, average 3 modules per year, but I did 9 this year...
Did you applied to oxford clarendon scholarship
Nop, self funded :)
@@neoleemh What was your total tution fees
@@GeorgeWbush-tk1te about £40k
Sounds really cool! What are your current impressions of this degree? :)
Hello @Sabor, pretty cool but I do have some moan about it, stay tune :)
Funny how I said the exact same thing when I saw this program a while back
Hello, have you applied?
Been selected for an interview for this degree- what kind of questions do they ask?
Hello @Khot , I think we already spoke in the Discord channel, but usually about your motivation of joining the programme
Hi, I see that this video is 6 mo. How is the experience? I am an aspiring student for Oct 2023 and I’ve put in my application. Fingers crossed!
Hello! sorry for the late reply, not too bad I guess, if you would like to know more , then you can reach me out at the Discord group
Can you share the link to the Discord?
Hi, can you tell about the application process and what exams have you given?
@somestarsoul This is a professional course, although GRE marks can be provided I don’t think it is mandatory. The selectors are looking at how the candidate can grow from the course in their respective professions. Application process is on their website.
Hi, thank you for delivering such useful video! I am also interested in applying for msc in software engineering next year. If possible may I ask what are the questions asked in the interview? Thanks for any help!
Hello, I reckon its vary to different individual but mine was about my degree and dissertation and it took about 20 minutes ish :) hope this help - btw, join us here - there are about 10 people ish now :) discord.gg/P6VfR35cCq
From what I heard from my colleagues that did the MSc in Software Engineering and Security in Ox, the Security Principles is rather on the tough side and pre-requisite for the other security modules. I haven't done it myself yet, but will report back in October ;)
Looking forward to this!
Will be starting the MSc Software and Systems Security this year and will be in Kellogg as well. Maybe we run into each other during the Matriculation :) Anyway, yeah, I was dealing with the same thing. Not really any information available. I had the advantage of knowing 2 colleagues that did the same MSc in the past but even they were always a bit cryptic. Always referred to it as, yeah it's tough but rewarding. However, I can't wait for it to start this year.
Hey thanks for dropping in - and ye defo see you in the matriculation!! , I 'm in Kellogs too btw :)
I don't understand, is it part time but still you need to attend from 9-5 ? I am full-time employee and wanted a part-time MSc on the side even if it's challenging as long it's doable along a full-time employment
