Part time?

G

Is there anywhere to find out extra information regarding part-time PhD’s? Does anyone/employers look differently at those who complete a PhD part-time? Is it really possible to work Mon-Fri 9-5 and complete a PhD in six years (part-time)?

Thanks All!

Its very difficult to work 9 - 5 M-F and finish a PhD full or part time. You will have to find a balance between work and phd. Any time spent on Phd should be deducted from work hours unless you find a job in the directly related field.
Employers dont discriminate between part- or fulltime if you have a valid reason for part-time.

not really-part time students in my departmet do 2-3 dys a week. also uni's ma be sceptical about taking you if you cant devote more time to phd.
