Not ready to leave us just yet? Stay for your Master’s!
If you’re passionate about your subject and want to boost your employability, it might be time to consider studying a Master’s degree at BU.
Postgraduate study isn’t for everyone – here are some benefits to help you decide.
You’ll get to develop new skills and challenge yourself academically, and with the support of our research-led academics, really get stuck in to your chosen subject area. Or there are conversion courses if you’d like to change your subject area – such as law or social work.
There’s also the personal and intellectual challenge. Lowri shares in her blog How I’ve changed since starting my master’s: “not only my attitude towards certain things but my maturity level and the confidence I now have in myself as a person”.
Best yet, according to the latest Graduate Labour Market Statistics (2014) – postgrads earn an additional £9,000 per year compared to undergrads - good news when you consider funding support is quite different than for undergraduate study.
Saying that, there’s up to 25% off our tuition fees* for BU graduates as well as our scholarships from £2,000, and it’s expected that a national postgraduate loan scheme will be available from 2016-17 following a government consultation.
