After enrolling as a distance learning student at the International University of Applied Sciences, Berlin, Justin Irabor quickly realised he needed help merging work and school. It wasn’t easy to balance the duties of a professional web developer and a data science student.
“My Master’s programme is online, and the challenge with that is that you need a study partner; otherwise, you’re never quite sure how much of the study material you’ve consumed. This was quite challenging because combining daily activities with school meant you had to synchronise with a lot of people. Sometimes I’m at work, and my study partner is also at work. It created conflicting timelines,” said Irabor.
