Why study at postgraduate level?
One of the best reasons for doing a postgraduate degree is that you are passionate about your subject and want to learn and think about it at a higher level. Undergraduate study often serves as a general introduction to a subject, but postgraduate study provides the opportunity to study topics of interest in greater depth.
A postgraduate degree is highly valued by employers, and on average, graduates with a postgraduate degree have a higher starting salary and faster career progression than their undergraduate contemporaries.
