Hello everyone,

What do you think about studying two master’s degrees at the same time?
Do you think this would be a good ROI long term, or would it be better to focus on one degree only? And why?

Context:
- F26 with 3 years of experience in a government entity

- MPA at Columbia University (fully sponsored, full-time)

- MSc in Software and Systems Security at the University of Oxford (part-time, flexible)

Please note that I’ve already completed the first year at Oxford, so the remaining workload is expected to be lighter and more dissertation/project focused.

PLEASE HELP

Hello everyone,

What do you think about studying two master’s degrees at the same time? Do you think this would be a good ROI long term, or would it be better to focus on one degree only? And why? PLEASE HELP.

For context:

- F26

- 3 years of experience in cybersecurity (government entity)

- Master’s 1: Master of Public Administration (MPA) at Columbia University, fully sponsored and full-time

- Master’s 2: MSc in Software and Systems Security at the University of Oxford, part-time and flexible, requiring travel to Oxford around 10 times over 4 years ( cost is affordable)

Note: I’ve already completed the first year at Oxford, and the second year is expected to be lighter with mainly the dissertation/project remaining and 4 courses. I would still have around 3 years to complete the Oxford degree.

Thank you🙏🙏

How does Oxford handle changing courses?
