Alternative Funding for Postgraduate Courses

Employer Sponsorship

Many graduates take up postgraduate study directly after completing their first degree. However, there is always the option of deferring your further study to a later date - this way you may even be lucky enough to work for an employer who is able to pay for - or at least partially fund your course, particularly if the course is relevant to your career progression.

An employer-sponsored postgraduate course can be an ideal arrangement - you will be given the opportunity to achieve a qualification that will improve your ability to do the job and will open up your career prospects, and your employer will benefit from a better-qualified, more productive and better motivated employee.
