A Postgraduate degree opens so many more doors

You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions... Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions. - Gary Ryan Blair.

The New Year is around the corner and you may be asking yourself whether now is the right time to head back to University? Whether this is part of your professional or personal development plan, further investment in your skill set and knowledge will only be advantageous. A 2020 report by the Higher Education Policy Institute suggests that Postgraduates earn on average 18% more than first-degree holders, and let’s not forget the personal satisfaction of fueling the desire to learn and contribute to your field of expertise.

What better way to start the New Year, than embark on a Postgraduate degree with the University of Bolton; an institution that had a proud heritage of a ‘students first approach’.

If you are considering studying with us, here is what you need to know.
