My partner didn't finish her undergrad, but was accepted onto an MSc program in Manchester in the UK on the basis of her work experience.

I think students with experience are great for courses, and applications from these sorts of candidates look great amongst piles of identikit young over achievers.

It’s a taught Master’s. They want the money and some scrap of a justification for admitting you. Don’t overthink it.
