How can postgraduate study further your career?
If you choose carefully, a postgraduate qualification will help boost your career potential.
 |
Whether you're an undergraduate contemplating staying in higher education or a professional considering a return to study, if you're thinking about postgraduate study then you're not alone.
A specialised dimension A postgraduate qualification can give your undergraduate degree a bit of extra clout by adding a more specialised dimension. For example, a business and finance degree followed by postgraduate study in accounting shows a clear development of academic interest. This in turn tells a potential employer that you're a focused individual with highly developed research skills. And if this study has the added value of professional recognition, exemption from professional exams or even work experience, then it has the potential to enhance your job applications further by demonstrating commitment and insight within a specific field.
For some professions – for example law, accountancy, teaching, medicine and academia – further study is essential, while in other areas, such as Marketing, IT and HRM, it can give you a valuable head start. Although a postgraduate qualification is not a short cut to a fast-track career, it could enhance your employability across virtually any area by focusing your research abilities and sharpening your transferable skills.

Accounting & Finance starting salaries rise in 2014
Salaries Up by 3.4 percent *
|
Starting salaries in the accounting and finance profession are projected to increase by 3.4 percent across the board in 2014, with financial and business analysts, internal auditors, and entry-level accountants among the positions that are most in demand, according to 2014 Salary Guide: Accounting & Finance from staffing firm Robert Half.
Paul McDonald, senior executive director for Robert Half, told AccountingWEB that regulatory demands, the need to mine financial data to guide business decisions, and the urgency to replace finance and accounting positions that were eliminated during the economic downturn are driving salaries higher for in-demand professionals. "Companies also are commonly finding a dearth of candidates for highly sought roles, and they need to enhance their compensation offerings to attract – and then retain – top performers," he said. "The addition of new accounting and finance positions will help support organizational growth and bench strength given impending Baby Boomer retirements. Companies that want to prevent the 'brain drain' should prepare now for future staffing needs." Robert Half found that experienced professionals with analytical skills, such as financial and business analysts, are key to corporate accounting and finance employers' plans.
"With the big data push, companies are looking to hire accounting and finance professionals who don't just analyze the data, but who can tell the complete story behind them and make strategic recommendations to the organization," McDonald said.
