Part-time master’s degree for working professionals

Study for a three- or four-year master’s degree while working.

What is a part-time master’s degree programme for working professionals?

The programme allows you to earn a master’s degree while working alongside your studies. It’s an opportunity to combine what you learn on the programme with your working life.

Depending on the structure of the specific programme, it takes either three or four years to complete.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to a master’s programme for working professionals, you must meet the same requirements as for the two-year master's degree. In addition, you must have a job for which you were hired based on your bachelor’s degree (minimum 25 hours/week) – or be an entrepreneur.

For more information about the admission requirements for a specific part-time master's programme, please see the page for the programme you wish to apply for.
