Part-time masters holiday question

Hi All,

(Please feel free to move this if I have posted it in the wrong place!)

I am considering taking on a part-time masters degree, following my current PGDip which I should finish in Jan 2024. I wonder if anyone can advice me on taking holidays?

My PGDip was full-time and I was only able to take holidays abroad during term-breaks, not during term-time. The difficulty with this is that holidays are much more expensive during the breaks and often filled with lots of small children who are also holidaying (understandably!).

My preference would be to holiday during term time, and I wonder if anyone has any experience whether this is acceptable when studying part-time for a masters?

This is the course I am considering: https://www.exeter.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/courses/psychology/ptpr/

I am also attending an open day online for this tomorrow where hopefully I may find a more concrete answer, but just wondering if any of you could answer me based on your own lived experience.

Cheers x
