Yes, you can pursue a part-time PhD abroad, but it largely depends on the university and the specific program. Many institutions offer part-time options designed for working professionals. Look for universities that allow part-time PhD studies in your field of interest. Check their websites for specific requirements and options: If you plan to study in a foreign country, be sure to understand the visa regulations, as some student visas may have restrictions on part-time study.
Consider Funding and Support. Applicants should investigate funding options, as part-time PhD candidates may have fewer funding opportunities compared to full-time students. Since part-time PhDs can take longer to complete, plan your research and coursework to fit your schedule.

Yes, part-time PhD programs do exist internationally, but it depends on the specific country and the university regulations of that country. For example, in the UK, Australia, and Canada, multiple universities provide part-time doctoral programs or distance programs for employed professionals. This may even allow you to conduct research while also continuing with your job, and part-time programs usually provide you more time to complete it than a full-time programme. However, you should ensure that this is permitted, as individual university regulations, visa regulations, and financial regulations can limit the extent of part-time study.
