Good Afternoon All,
Little bit about me before I ask my question, I am an Engineer to trade (15 years) and for the previous 3 years been an Engineering Manager. One of my current employers essential criteria for the next progression is a degree. I have not been in HE for 15 years which was only at college level to obtain my HNC. I had enquired about a funded degree through my employer which they generously agreed too and after presenting them with a few options they decided to allow me to do a 2 years MSc in Engineering Management. I had presented BSc options however the modules were not as well suited.
I am concerned I am perhaps taking on too much, time wise I am pretty confident I can manage but I cant quite fathom if the university I was applying to who were confident with my work experience I would be a suitable candidate were perhaps more interested in just filling another place on the course.
Does anyone else have any experience of doing an MSc after being out of HE for an extensive amount of time, how did they find it? am I overthinking the situation? This seemed like a great place to hear some opinions.
