Pursuing a Ph.D. in Applied Math & Bachelors/Masters in EE Simultaneously?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a Ph.D. in applied mathematics while simultaneously obtaining a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering (EE) is challenging and may extend the duration of the Ph.D. program. Funding sources, such as research councils, typically do not permit additional time for pursuing multiple degrees concurrently. Balancing a Ph.D. with a second bachelor's degree or a master's in EE may not be feasible without impacting the timeline of the Ph.D. program. Some individuals choose to pursue degrees part-time and self-fund their education, which can provide more flexibility but may also prolong the overall academic journey.

Is it possible and/or likely to pursue a ph.d in applied mathematics and at the same time pick up a bachelors in EE? What about a masters in EE after that 2nd bachelors while still in a applied math ph.d program?

It depends how long you want your PhD to last, and on who's funding it. If it's a research council or what not, then I can't see them allowing you to take extra time to get a PhD simply because you are trying to get a degree in another subject at the same time.
 
I plan on doing my Master's in Mathematics as I go for my Business Degree. Both are part-time. I will pay for both out of my pocket.

Thread 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
