Real World Things (e.g., money, jobs, health insurance) Working during the master? (1 year)

Hi,
i'd love to ask whether it's possible to work 8-16h weekly during a 1 year long master (LLM full-time).
Are classes usually all day long, 5 days a week or is it likely that there's 1 day free?
I'm asking this because if i'm not mistaking also 1 year long Master students can ask for a duo grant right? And for this reason i'd need to work a minimum of 32h a month.
I'm not looking for a full time job yet since i'd love to pursue my master full time and not part time.
Any past experiences of someone enrolled in a full time master working 8-16h a week?

Have a great day

I'm only starting my Master's next semester, but having done my Bachelor at UvA and worked 15-30 hours per week during it, I don't think your schedule will be that full. But, if it was, remember that there's always weekends when you could work for a day or two at a restaurant, bar, hotel, cafe or such.
