Invest in your career with a postgraduate degree from Falmouth University

Falmouth UniversityDeciding to study a postgraduate degree is not only a chance to deepen your knowledge and expand your professional networks – it is also an investment in your career potential. Latest official statistics show that postgraduates earn around 12% more than undergraduates, with a median salary of £47,000 compared to £42,000 for those who only hold a bachelors degree.

They are also more likely to be in work: employment rates for postgraduates sit at 90%, around 2.4 percentage points higher than the 87.6% seen among undergraduates. Together, these figures show the clear financial and professional value of taking your studies further, and across the highly competitive creative industries, a way to stand out from the crowd.

Falmouth University’s on-campus and online postgraduate taught degrees span the full breadth of the creative industries, from art, advertising and writing, to games, photography and film. Whichever subject you choose, you’ll learn in an environment purpose-built for refining your skills and making industry connections.

For those balancing work and study, Falmouth’s online postgraduate courses offer flexibility that fits around your life. The design of the online programs lets you access course content at times that suit you so you can work while you study. On average you might spend up to 25 hours a week on study activities, but you choose when you do this and can replay recorded content as many times as you need. This flexibility helps you apply learning directly to your work and progress your career without taking long breaks from employment.

Studying online also gives you space to build professional experience while you learn. You can master new concepts and tools, and immediately bring these into your role or job search. For many, this blend of learning and working leads to greater confidence, stronger outcomes and clear career progression.

Choosing to do an online postgraduate degree with Falmouth gives you the chance to grow academically while maintaining your career momentum and earning potential.
