Hello Aspirant...

hope you are doing good...

Many prospective PhD students are thinking about combining their studies with a job. Some are questioning whether this is even possible. This question does not have a simple "Yes" or "No" answer.

However, in recent years, the trend among PhD students has been to either pursue a part-time PhD and a full-time job, or to fully commit to a full-time PhD programme while maintaining the option of working a job or some kind of paid collaboration for only a few hours per week.

A part-time PhD is another preferred option for those who have decided to pursue an online degree and avoid commuting. A part-time PhD combined with a full-time job is not impossible with proper time management and organisation. One useful tip is to try to do some of your research at the end of your working hours at the office, rather than when you get home, when you will be exhausted. You will also have to give up some of your free time on weekends and evenings to devote to writing the thesis.

Hope this information helps you.

All the best.
