Postgraduate Information Evening - Goldsmiths University of London

Why do a postgraduate degree?

• For the intellectual challenge
  You’ll be able to immerse yourself in a subject area and develop specialist knowledge. At Goldsmiths you’ll have a safe space in which to experiment with your ideas, theories and practice. You’ll be part of a scholarly community that values life-long learning, and you’ll be exposed to concepts, debates, events and collaborations that could change the way you look at the world and your future.
• It will enhance your employability and other professional prospects
  You’ll be able to develop the high-level skills and practical experience that employers are looking for, as well as the network of contacts that could prove invaluable in the future. 
• For personal fulfilment
  You’ll be able to devote your time and energies to studying and researching the topics that really interest you. 
• To prepare you for employment in a particular profession or to advance in an existing career 
  For example, completing one of our PGCEs will train you to become a teacher, while many of our social work and psychology programmes enable you to register and practise in relevant professions.
• To help you progress to a higher qualification or prepare you for a research career
• To improve your lifetime earnings
  On average, people with a postgraduate qualification earn more than individuals whose highest qualification is an undergraduate degree.
