Your future - taught postgraduates

Taught postgraduate degrees are becoming much more widespread, with some jobs now requiring a Masters as standard. If you are looking for a career in a related area then specialist knowledge from a Masters is a great way to attract employers.

A Masters from the University of Leeds can set you up for a life away from your discipline, too. The high-level personal and analytical skills you develop as a postgraduate student are increasingly sought after by employers. Take a look at our 2010 statistics for an idea of where a taught postgraduate qualification could lead.

A Masters isn't just a step towards a better job. It can be excellent preparation for higher level research degrees such as an MPhil or PhD.

Where are they now?

If you need proof that a Masters can help you in your career, 95% of last year's students who gave us feedback were either working or in further education six months after they graduated.

This impressive statistic rises to 100% of students in the faculty of medicine and health, and 97% in the faculty of ESSL (education, social sciences and law).
