Studying and working full-time.

I'm planing to study and work full-time. I've heard that the first year it's the easiest one and working full-time won't be a problem. The job I'm doing allows me to study ad well, so it's not that bad. I've also heard that grades from first year don't count to your final graduation, is that true? Anyone have the same plans or it's just me?

Which university are you attending?

It's possible to work and study full time, but it takes a lot more discipline to keep on top of it. For some people, they're perfectly okay with it, others may need to defer one module to keep on top. First year is definitely easier and doesn't count in your final classification, though it's important to work hard at it and develop your skills. As you move onto year 2 and 3, things will ramp up a lot and more will be expected of you. So by all means, give it a go but be prepared to take a step back if you feel you're drowning in work.

I did full time study 120 credits in my first year whilst working about 24 hours a week and one module claims to require 16-18 hours of study a week. I found that manageable. I went onto to do 90 credits at one point at level 2 and that was quite a lot but I just about managed it!

I go to Northumbria uni doing cyber security and I works as doorstaff for bars
