A postgraduate degree boosts your CV, helping you to stand out in an increasingly competitive market. Not only that, but by extending your learning you can gain a deeper insight into your chosen subject, significantly increasing your earning power and better preparing you for the career journey ahead. Master’s loans – which work very similar to undergraduate loans – are available for many of the courses.
Postgraduate study brings with it a whole host of networking opportunities, as you meet and work alongside likeminded students, experienced tutors and industry figures, opening doors for you beyond your studies. What’s more, with median salaries for postgrads £6,000 higher than they are for graduates (Department for Education, 2022), continuing your education could turn out to be a very lucrative decision.
