Part time MSc at BB

Hey guys

I'm considering applying for a part time MSc in Finance at the likes of LSE/LBS/Cass. I will be starting my graduate job with a BB in MO next September, and wanted to get the opinion of people on how difficult it will be to balance the two. I have an undergraduate in Economics and having looked over course content, I will not be entirely new to the material. However, the entirety of my spare time will be dedicated to the MSc which is daunting.

To give additional context, I'm considering pursuing an MSc so that I will have more leverage in applying for FO positions elsewhere if I am not satisfied with the work I am doing after the duration of my training.

Thoughts and feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: Just saw that LBS require two years of financial work experience before applying- D'oh.
