My masters degree is very practically orientated – which I have found to have offered fundamental skills for the workplace. In comparison to my undergraduate degree at the University in Geography, which was far more focused on reading academic literature, I believe my masters has given me more employable skills. Condensing contact hours into 2 days allows me to balance time between uni and other activities successfully, and gives me a suitable amount of independent study time. I have found the University to be very supportive both within my course, and future – both possible further postgraduate study and my career with the use of the careers hub.
