Postgraduate Courses

How do I fund my postgraduate degree?

Before embarking on your postgraduate studies, you should also consider how you will fund them. Unlike undergraduate courses, there are no government-subsidised loans available to cover tuition fees for postgraduate programmes. However, that does not mean that you have to self-fund your course. There are other options available. 

Before you determine to undertake your postgraduate qualification, you can look into any bursaries that may be available and also eligible postgraduate loans. Understanding how you can afford this level of academic study will enable you to make the right choice. 

Why should you study a postgraduate course?

Next up, let’s talk about why you should study a postgraduate course. With more and more students undertaking undergraduate diplomas every year, taking the next step in academia could give you the professional edge. The types of master’s courses available are varied, which means that you can gain an education in your chosen career sector. For example, you may decide that you want to go to business school or study a degree in social sciences. 

Enhancing your professional qualifications with a postgraduate course could make all the difference when it comes to applying for roles. Take the time to look at the different course types from full-time and part-time to online degrees to decide which one suits you.

What jobs can I get?

Before you decide which postgraduate programmes to pursue, you will need to consider what career prospects they offer. There are various types of degrees including research courses and taught courses. That means that you should figure out which type of learner you are ahead of enrolling yourself for the new academic year. Let’s take a look at the jobs you may be able to gain when you have completed a postgraduate course: 

• Social Worker
• Marketing Executive
• Criminal Expert 
• Engineer 
• Business Administrator 
• HR Manager 
• IT Manager 
• Finance Executive 
• Security Manager 
• Cyber Security Expert

The role that you can gain will depend on the type of master’s degree or postgraduate degree you choose to study. If you were to undertake a course in social work, you would subsequently be able to apply to work in that field. 

Entering the working world directly after gaining a postgraduate qualification is one pathway. Alternatively, you may want to continue with your academic studies. If that’s the case, you can continue and become a PhD student after completing your degree. Keep in mind that you will need to search for funding to complete this high level of education.
