We know it\u2019s difficult to decide what to do when you finish university, but the good news is there are lots of options. We hope this blog can help you decide what option is for you including some of the reasons why staying on at Teesside University London for postgraduate study may be the right choice for you.<\/p>\n

An investment in your education is a lifelong investment in you.<\/p>\n

Improve your career prospects<\/strong>
\nA postgraduate qualification can help improve your job opportunities, to climb the career ladder and gain an advantage over other graduates.<\/p>\n

Some careers require a higher-level qualification, so if you know what career you want to pursue, we recommend researching as to whether a postgraduate qualification is required. Even if the role you want doesn\u2019t need a higher-level qualification, a master\u2019s can still help you stand out when applying for job roles and demonstrate your commitment and higher-level knowledge.<\/p>\n

Boost your salary<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s official, a master\u2019s can also help you to earn more money and is an investment worth making. In 2022, the median nominal salary for working-age graduates was \u00a338,500. This was \u00a311,500 more than working-age non-graduates (\u00a327k), but \u00a36,500 less than working-age postgraduates (\u00a345k)*. So, a postgraduate qualification is worth the money and can improve your salary.<\/a><\/p>\n

Change direction<\/strong>
\nYour undergraduate degree doesn\u2019t have to define your career path. You can change direction and start again.
\nWe offer master\u2019s courses in business, computer science, and animation which will help you gain additional skills and knowledge and take your career in a different direction.<\/p>\n

Master a subject you love<\/strong>
\nIf you enjoyed your undergraduate degree and want to continue studying and researching your chosen subject in more detail and depth, a master\u2019s is the perfect next step for you. It\u2019s an opportunity to master your knowledge, build meaningful and productive networks for a great career, or even research at PhD level.<\/p>\n

Study flexibly<\/strong>
\nYou study compressed hours on campus, usually two days a week so you can upskill and study around work and life commitments.<\/p>\n
