Study Abroad Part-Time While Working Remotely

Studying abroad part-time while working remotely. Is it possible?

Hi everyone, I'm reaching out for advice. I really need it.

tldr: I want out of here, and would like to keep my job while pursuing a master's. What's your experience with this?

I'm looking for a part-time master's program abroad that is in English, and delivered in the afternoon or on weekends. I work full-time remotely as a contractor with a Spanish employer and would like to keep my job and income while I study.

I have a Bachelor of Business Administration and looking for masters in Data/Business Analytics (where admission isn't restricted to Maths/CS undergrads), project management and MBA, or even International Affairs, Security, Terrorism and Political sciences. My work experience is in social analytics and reputation management-related for global names.

I'm browsing programs across the EU, UK and Scandinavian countries at the moment, and it seems like I've already missed the deadline for many programs that start in the Fall.

1. Can you please help point me towards a university that offers part-time master programs in English in the majors mentioned above?

2. Would working remotely as a contractor with a Spanish employer conflict with the Student visa rules? Would it work if my contract is changed to fit the allowed hours/week?

For example, studying full-time in the UK limits work to 20hours/week, and doesn't allow work at all if I'm enrolled in a part-time program. I couldn't find details on this on the gov.uk site, but blogs mention that work isn't permitted for part-timers. I don't know about other countries, but I'd like to keep my income flowing.

What's your experience with this? Would that work in other EU countries if not the UK?

1. Do you have any other piece of advice? Like what to consider after graduation in terms of job sponsorship in said country?

Please help, I need out.
