Money
Generally, statistics have shown that people with postgraduate degrees earn more overall than those with undergraduate degrees. This is due to the reason of
postgraduate qualifications are more likely to be able to access higher skilled (and therefore higher paid) jobs. But it’s still a clear and welcome benefit in
the long run.
Intellectual Interest
Aside from career benefits and pathways, one of the reasons for taking on a postgraduate qualification is simply to learn more about a particular area of interest.
If you discover you are passionate about a specific subject or topic, why not devote yourself to researching and learning more about it? You could even find yourself becoming an expert in that field of specialty!
Translatable Skills
Whatever you choose to study, you will gain a wide range of transferable skills that every employer values. Postgraduate study requires huge amounts of
self-discipline and self-motivation, as well as time management and organisational skills. You will also develop high-level researching skills that can open
up a variety of jobs across different industries.
If you choose to study abroad, you will also become more culturally aware and self-reliant, as well as possibly pick up some language skills – all things that
employers value highly in an increasingly globalized workplace.
