Why go to uni?

Completing a postgraduate qualification will give you the confidence to stand out in the crowd if you want to enhance your existing career, move in a new direction or just increase your knowledge and expertise for personal development or interest.  

With only 6.2% of the Australian population with a postgraduate qualification, there has never been a better time to gain an advantage through university study.

Gain a competitive edge

A postgraduate qualification can provide you a distinct advantage in the workplace, especially if you are seeking career progression. A postgraduate graduate with specialist knowledge differentiates themselves from other graduates and may be more attractive to an employer.

Become more employable

Many students undertake postgraduate study in an effort to increase their likelihood of securing employment in a chosen career area. Not only does postgraduate study refine course specific knowledge and skills but it has also been shown to greatly improve the transferable skills and qualities sought by employers.

Increase your earning potential

A postgraduate qualification may increase long-term earnings. Students completing postgraduate study generally enter the workplace with higher starting salaries than those without postgraduate qualifications.

Boost your networks

You can greatly improve your employment prospects by building up a network of useful industry contacts. Postgraduate courses put you in touch with people in the industry, can improve you networking and communication skills whilst work placements may lead to possible employment opportunities.

Pursue your passions

A postgraduate qualification can help to develop a deeper understanding of a specific subject area that is related to your first degree or an area of personal interest. The pursuit of knowledge can be very enjoyable and motivating and a great deal of personal satisfaction can be gained from sharing ideas with other like-minded individuals who share your passion for a subject.
