Gibraltar is an excellent place to pursue higher education, as it follows the English model of schooling. Though there were once few institutions of higher learning within the country, recent government regulations have led to the creation of these institutions.

The MSc, or Master of Science, is an internationally recognized academic degree that indicates proficiency and knowledge of a given topic or field. Most MSc programs take about four years to finish, after which some join the workforce while others continue on in the classroom.

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