10 Reasons to Start a Postgraduate Degree This Fall

Does it seem like everyone you know has got graduation all figured out….?

…. Here are 10 reasons why Postgraduate study could be the next step you are looking for:

• The opportunity to specialise in your field to make you stand out from the crowd. For example, Edge Hill University offers a MA in Critical Screen Practice that is taught through professional standard equipment.
• Postgraduate degrees have higher rates of employment than Bachelor’s. Employers know that they are not just an extension of your academic knowledge, it creates a whole new way of thinking and provides you with the confidence to walk into a workplace as a professional.
• Give your employability an even bigger boost by studying in another country; this shows potential employers that you can operate in today’s global market.
• Make the most of your programme by working while studying to gain extra skills. Edge Hill has a dedicated Careers Centre to help students look for part-time work and work experience opportunities.
• Experience award winning teaching- Edge Hill is one of six UK finalists in the Global Teaching Excellence Awards 2018.
• Postgraduate degrees in the UK take just one year to complete full-time, reducing your expenses and giving you the opportunity to kick-start your career earlier.
• Postgraduate study enables you to meet people from all over the world who will challenge the preconceptions of your field.
• Studying in the UK means Europe is on your doorstep, giving you plenty of opportunities for travel for personal and academic purposes.
• The advanced level of your studies is designed to help you gain personal independence and confidence.
• The cost of living may be lower studying in the UK- particularly in the North West where rent is surprisingly reasonable compared to major cities like London and Toronto.
