Hi, I wondered if its possible to do a PhD part time in 4 to 5 years? I would be able to study 30 hours a week on the PhD instead of 40-50 hrs in the case of a fulltime student. The part time fees would make it more affordable. The PhD would be related to my 5 years recent employment experience and the taught masters I'm currently doing (I also have a related BA). I'm lucky enough to have a smallish mortgage on my flat and if I have a lodger living with me the rent would pay the mortgage and most of the utility bills. Meaning I would only need to find one days employment a week to have enough money to live on. Any thoughts please?
