Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)

 
Collage of MSt students

A part-time Master’s degree allows you to gain advanced knowledge in a field, conduct research and open up professional opportunities or networks. They allow you to explore your identity as a professional, a learner and a person. A University of Cambridge part-time Master of Studies course typically takes place over two academic years and is flexible enough to fit around your job and other commitments.

"Having spent my ‘university years’ building up professional experience, I’m late to higher education. I’m so glad programmes like this exist, allowing for growth and exploration no matter where you are in life" Jill, MSt in Creative Writing student.

Earn a Master's degree from the University of Cambridge while working full-time

A part-time Master’s from the University of Cambridge Institute of Continuing Education (ICE) is an excellent option for people wishing to study while also working full-time. Choosing a Master’s from the University of Cambridge means you:

Our part-time courses typically run over a two-year period.

It is expected that you take up residence for these teaching blocks. During the Master’s degree there will be assignments and virtual learning to complete in your own time. Support is available within ICE and the University for students who are transitioning to Master’s level study.
