We believe that an investment in knowledge still pays the best return.
By developing your skills, expertise, experience and networks, you show that you're ready for extra responsibilities or a new challenge.
With a postgraduate qualification, you are likely to earn more in the long run.
The median salary for working-age (16-64) postgraduates in 2019 was £8,000 more than graduates, and £17,000 more than non-graduates.
