I'm doing a PhD in Psychology, and it's a qualitative analysis of archival data, so I don't need to be recruiting participants or doing lab work. So hopefully 18.75 hours work is okay :)

Thanks! That's very helpful - I have no committments - no children, not even a pet! And my supervisor is very supportive as he studied and worked. :-)

Hi,

I'm due to start a PhD in September, that I'm self funding. I was just wondering what people thought about working alongside full time study. Most advice I can find assumes that full time students are funded. I have a part time job which is 18.75 hours per week, would I be able to do a PhD full time alongside this? I feel I could comfortably dedicate 30 hours per week on my PhD in addition to these working hours.

Any thoughts?!

Thanks!!

Jem
