Information science is a popular field that may involve both technical computer skills and an understanding of the interaction between technology and society. Coursework can include software engineering, database management, and the ethics and laws of contemporary information technology.

A Master of Science or MSc is a postgraduate degree typically in the fields of sciences and social sciences. MSc may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
