How can postgraduate study boost your career? | Guardian Careers | guardian.co.uk An article very apt at present; although I am concentrating on finalising my BA, I have the option of applying to do a Masters in the background of my mind. This has been something I have pondered, & taken some action on, over a number of years; I actually started a Fashion Design Enterprise MA in London in 2008, but opportunities arose for my business that I had put on hold - an extremely difficult decision to make at the time, but after careful analysis & planning I opted for my business. Since then I have looked at various Masters, including Glyndwr for this & the previous academic year.
After attending Creative Futures Week at Glyndwr, & being present at the Post Graduate session with Steve Keegan, I made contact & an appointment. Unfortunately due to family commitments, I had to cancel my meeting but have since swapped emails with Steve & once I finish my BA work, can then concentrate on the option of doing a Masters.
This is a major decision, especially the financial aspect, but my research; reading articles, emailing my contacts who work in the gaming industry, who recommend that an MA can make you stand out from the crowd, in addition to friends who have a Masters in Business or Marketing & Management who said it hasn't benefited them as yet.
This article highlighted that a Masters can make you stand out from the crowd, but also that having a job & a company to sponsor you is highly beneficial....
