Regular or distance for MSc?

Many students study MSc through distance or open learning because they work, live far from a campus or need flexible timing. Distance study means self-study material, online or weekend support, assignments and exams at set times.

Regular mode

What regular study usually looks like:

  • Fixed classes and a set timetable
  • Labs, practicals and direct teacher support
  • More time commitment each day
  • Often a higher total cost, including travel and living

Distance or open mode

What distance study usually looks like, where it is available:

  • Study from home on your own schedule
  • Exams and some practicals at set dates and centres
  • Needs strong self-discipline
  • Often lower in cost, but check every fee

How to decide

Ask yourself three things: can you attend classes every day, how much self-discipline do you have, and does the job you want accept this mode. For MSc, also check the rules of the regulator or council that applies to it. Distance programmes should be approved by the right regulator, so ask for proof of approval and read the official notice.

Which students choose which mode

Some simple pointers:

  • You work full time or live far from a campus: look at distance or flexible options first, if the course allows them
  • You want labs, classes and a campus life: regular mode suits you
  • You are not sure: compare both on fee, approval and the time you really have
  • Your goal needs a licence or council registration: check the rules before choosing any mode

Questions to ask the institute

Write these down before you call:

  • Check that the college has labs for the subjects you want
  • Ask how practicals are done
  • Check the approval of the university
  • Ask for the complete fee and what it covers
  • Read the latest notice for subject rules

Quick answers

Can I study MSc by distance?

MSc is commonly available through distance or open learning as well as regular study, but not every institute offers every option.

Is distance MSc accepted for jobs?

Acceptance depends on the approval of the university and the rules of the employer or exam. Check both before you apply.

Can I work while studying MSc?

Many students do, especially in flexible modes. Regular mode with fixed classes and training is harder to combine with a full-time job.
