9.4 Find a suitable place to study

Have a system in place that works for you. You need somewhere to study and somewhere to keep your study materials and related files. You’ll nearly always need access to a computer, but may find you can listen to an audio recording in your car, or study on the train or the bus, for example, if this works for you. An increasing emphasis on independent study at Master’s level means that being able to get online to work is likely to be even more important than it was at undergraduate level.
