You can either continue with the subject of your Bachelor program or you can choose a different discipline allowing you to develop new skills and professional opportunities. While the master’s degree will give you an edge on the job market and may enhance your promotion prospects, it can also be a step towards pursuing an academic career.

Application Process

A general requirement for applying to a Master program is a Bachelor’s degree – it’s important to know that not every undergraduate degree qualifies you for every Master Program. In many cases it depends on the previous field of study. You also have to prove that you are qualified, it could either be through an excellent undergraduate grade, through a selection process, or an exam. Application deadlines vary by program. Please check the information provided by the university of your choice.
