Not quite sure why you still have unconditional offers for both your firm and insurance?

For a full time degree you should be expecting to invest, on average, about 40 hours a week. Some of this will be at fixed times, and not necessarily at the same time each week for more than a term or two. Your part-time job would need to be fairly flexible to accommodate this, because if your attendance is poor the uni won't take too kindly and certainly will be less sympathetic if you run into difficulties.

It depends on your timetable. It could be that you would have a couple of days a week with no seminars or lectures (and don't be tempted to miss them, it is noticed when you do) in one term, and then in another you've got something every day. This will depend on which options you choose to do. You can't assume that you will be able to guarantee the same free days week after week.

It depends what kind of part-time job - some have flexible hours that you can work round your uni commitments.

Call the uni and ask them for an example timetable eg last years first year timetable. I did that and got it no problem to estimate my childcare costs. They said it doesn't differ a lot hours wise year to year
