Salary and Progression

More and more employers are asking for a degree qualification, so if you do decide to study at university you will have more job opportunities to choose from once you graduate, which in turn will mean you are more likely to be in a higher level job and have better chances of being promoted.

 

It is also a good idea to think about enhancing your employability while at university.
Getting involved in your students’ newspaper, doing ambassador or voluntary work are all really good things to make you stand out from other graduates, and help you get your dream job.
