Can I complete the first year, then take a break from studying and re-join at the second year point when I’m ready to continue? Is there a time limit on completing the whole MSc?

You are permitted 5 years to complete the MSc. Within that time, it is possible to defer as necessary provided you have evidence to support your request. Suspension of studies may be recommended if a long-term deferral is required.
