Career Prospects for Post-Graduates
Just getting a university degree isn’t enough nowadays. Employers are increasingly looking for graduates who can hit the ground running. Each degree has been developed in response to current market demands for specific skills. Employers look for graduates who can demonstrate both breadth and depth of subject knowledge. Combining subjects in a degree programme is a popular way of tailoring a course to reflect your career aspirations. Work experience plays a key role in making yourself employable. Some of the benefits are: the chance to put theory into practice; development of key skills; greater understanding of career choices; valuable career contacts for the future. Business is increasingly dependent on international trade, and employment opportunities demand well developed language skills. The course of foreign language will provide a broad range of language training opportunities for all students whatever course they are taking.
To find the right career for you, you need to think about the occupations and jobs available – the skills, qualifications and experience you need and whether they are right for you.
A postgraduate qualification will be one that is recognized globally and will provide an excellent route to better career prospects. The University’s graduates benefit from our tradition of strong ties with business and industry.
The University’s high quality facilities and teaching and its interdisciplinary approach to research will enable you to make the most of research and learning opportunities available whilst studying for your scientific degree. It provides exceptional opportunities for research with commercial applications, drawing upon decades of working relationships with business and industry. All students receive appropriate and relevant preparation, training and support for their development.
The current post-graduate students are surely busier than their predecessors. Not only are they working to finish their dissertations within the three-year period; but also they are often teaching, attending conferences, making research trips, attending meetings, and engaging in other activities.
It is clear that development of communication skills and participation in a research seminar are linked to an important professional activity: going to a conference and speaking about one’s work. They are encouraged to use the conference as a way of raising their individual profiles, and as a springboard for future publications. For postgraduates it is an important way of participating in academic debate and having opportunities to defend their ideas, making a substantial, original contribution to knowledge in a specific area.
